[feature] support {{ role_name }}_paths_folders_list_custom to work with prowlarr_docker_volumes_custom

Describe the problem i have a really small ssd therefore i need to be mindful where to use the precious space at, i was doing some du on the /opt folder, and found a few folders (e.g. metadata/cache in plex) i'm hoping to move out of /opt (,which i plan to host on the ssd). I noticed that we can override radarr_docker_volumes_custom in the localhost.yml folder, which is really nice, however I couldn't find a way to create the host folder if they don't exist.

Describe any solutions you think might work i guess we could create a custom role just for this, but maybe we could follow the pattern of radarr_docker_volumes_custom and create something like {{ role_name }}_paths_folders_list_custom, and create those folders (maybe even check permissions) in the common role after reading those values out?

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

You can override the current folder list. I agree that it makes more sense to have a separate variable in this case and will think on how we can rework the roles to make such edits less annoying to do than having to edit all the roles.

Something like this? https://github.com/saltyorg/Saltbox/commit/583ea5c89af45fc2ac5c07732f82f3dc81500bee

pretty much, except that i still don't see a way to add custom folder lists

[saltydk]

You just add

rolename_paths_folders_list_custom:
  - /some/folder

to the inventory.

Inventory is covered here https://docs.saltbox.dev/saltbox/inventory/
