Additional Context

In it's current form the monero-node works, but is barely usable.

The daemon process monerod runs under root, so the blockchain data is written to /root/.bitmonero which isn't persisted to PVC storage because PVC storage targets /home/monero/.bitmonero. This is fixable by changing the following to UID / GID 1000 (user monero):

I only briefly looked over the upstream code, but couldn't figure out what containerdir1 and containerdir2 are used for. It's not a TrueCharts thing, is it?

On a side note, the upstream Docker image hasn't been updated in 2 years and probably never will be.

I've read and agree with the following

• [X] I've checked all open and closed issues and my issue is not there.

we dont accept gh issues requests for incubator apps for this reason. we have a dedicated channel in our discord for incubator apps.

apps may or may not work at all.

My bad for missing that. I was actually about to open a PR but then saw how outdated the upstream Docker image was.

I'm unable to re-join the DC. Who and how do I contact somebody to look into the issue?

No, its community build. If you want to discuss incubator discuss it on discord.
