How do I set the root directory when using Docker?

[Deejay85]

I'm following the above online guide here:

https://sugoi.gitbook.io/lanraragi/installing-lanraragi/docker

So far I'm trying to set the root directory by following the prompt which goes as follows:

--mount type=bind,source=E:\,target=/home/koyomi/lanraragi/content

Unfortunately that didn't work as well as I wanted it to. I tried entering in the entire string, then the first half of it followed by the second half, and when that didn't work I tried googling it, which didn't work as well as I wanted it to. Also I have tried to enter this command, both using command prompt, as well as in the terminal section inside of Docker Desktop...neither of which worked. Finally I ran the program, went into settings, and tried adding "/e," which didn't work, and neither did copying and pasting the address from the desktop version of LANraragi (mnt/e).

I've tried just about everything I can think of on my own, and have finally hit a dead end, so can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong so I can fix the situation at hand, and can finally get back to using this thing to finish updating the metadata on my files?

👋 I haven't used Docker Desktop for Windows in a while, but I believe what you want is
--mount type=bind,source=/e,target=/home/koyomi/lanraragi/content .

See https://docs.docker.com/desktop/troubleshoot/topics/#topics-for-windows , section "Path conversion on Windows"

Tried entering that in Docker's terminal, and it didn't work. I got back the following error message:

/bin/sh: --mount: not found

I've taken another look at the docker doc for windows paths, looks like e: is the correct syntax:

Keep in mind you also need to write the bind mount as part of a full docker command, so something like:

docker run --name=lanraragi -p 3000:3000 --mount type=bind,source=e:,target=/home/koyomi/lanraragi/content --mount type=bind,source=[YOUR_DATABASE_DIRECTORY],target=/home/koyomi/lanraragi/database difegue/lanraragi

(please set the db directory to whatever you're using)
