Snapweb not starting with lastest docker image

[COMPsmith]

The snapweb interface is showing it is not installed with the latest image on dockerhub https://hub.docker.com/r/sweisgerber/snapcast/tags

Snapweb Placeholder
This is a placeholder for [Snapweb](https://github.com/badaix/snapweb/releases), a web based control client and player for Snapcast.
To install Snapweb, please follow these steps:

Download Snapweb on the [Snapweb release page](https://github.com/badaix/snapweb/releases). You can either download
snapweb.zip and extract it on your Snapcast server machine, e.g. into /usr/share/snapserver/snapweb or
snapweb_x.y.z-1_all.deb and install it with sudo apt install ./snapweb_x.y.z-1_all.deb to /usr/share/snapweb
Configure the document root (doc_root, see below) in the snapserver configuration file snapserver.conf — usually located in /etc/snapserver.conf — to the location where snapweb is extracted or installed.
Restart Snapserver to activate the changes: sudo service snapserver restart
# HTTP RPC #####################################

I ended up creating a directory in my /data folder for snapweb, grabbing the .zip for snapweb (https://github.com/badaix/snapweb/releases/tag/v0.7.0), unzipping it in the directory I made, then modifying the snapserver.conf to point at that directory, like the error message suggests.

That fixed the issue for me.

How do you determine the directory location for the .conf file? I've tried using the mapped location for /data but it doesn't seem to recognize it in the .conf file.

@ethanllewis should be in the docker at /etc/snapserver.conf

I did run into the same problem and I created a dedicated volume (snapserver:/usr/share/snapserver/) for snapserver to solve it.

version: "3"
services:
  snapcast:
    container_name: sc1
    image: docker.io/sweisgerber/snapcast:latest
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000 # set to audio group ID
      - TZ=Europe/Vienna
      - START_SNAPCLIENT=false # set to `true` for snapclient to start
      # --host: name or ip of compose service or dockerhost
      # --soundcard: <ID> from `snapclient -l` from inside the container
      # - SNAPCLIENT_OPTS=--host snapcast --soundcard <ID>
      #   => Don't use quotes for SNAPCLIENT_OPTS="" !
      # - HOST_AUDIO_GROUP=<AUDIO-GID> # set to GID of host audio group
    restart: "unless-stopped"
#    ports:
#      - 1704:1704 # port for the actual audio streaming
#      - 1705:1705 # port for TCP Json RPC
#      - 1780:1780 # port for the SnapWeb Webinterface
    # devices:
      # - /dev/snd:/dev/snd # optional, only if you want to use snapclient
    volumes:
      - config:/config/
      - data:/data/
      # /audio should get used to place FIFOs for audio playback from mpd/mopidy/host/etc
      - audio-fifos:/audio/
      - snapserver:/usr/share/snapserver/
    networks:
      eth0MACVLAN:
        ipv4_address: 192.168.91.41
volumes:
  config:
  data:
  audio-fifos:
  snapserver:

networks:
  eth0MACVLAN:
    name: eth0MACVLAN
    external: true

After that I went into the container to download and extract the snapserver:

docker exec -it sc1 /bin/bash
cd /usr/share/snapserver/snapweb
rm index.html
wget https://github.com/badaix/snapweb/releases/latest/download/snapweb.zip
unzip snapweb.zip

@ethanllewis should be in the docker at /etc/snapserver.conf

The process in the container runs with /usr/bin/snapserver --config /config/snapserver.conf

I think the config file which gets used is located in /config/snapserver.conf
