Ok so the solution was this. Thank you @mouse@midwest.social

git clone https://github.com/mdshack/shotshare

Hello everyone.
I am deeply struggling to install shotshare on my server using docker-compose.
I followed the instructions and I’ve been talking with someone (from their team I guess) for 2 weeks without finding a solution.
Does anyone have a working docker-compose to share so I can compare it and understand ?

Oh wow, thanks for trying this. It is working indeed.
I am an absolute begginer so let me ask. Where is
shotshare_data
on my machine ? Is it in docker volumes ( like/var/lib/docker/volumes/
) ? Is there a way I can store data in/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7fe66601-5ca0-4c09-bc13-a015025fe53a/Files/Shotshare/
?It will be stored in
/var/lib/docker/volumes
, you can find the exact location by inspecting the volume. Usedocker volume ls
to list the volumes, and dodocker volume inspect <volume_name>
replacing <volume_name> with the one from the list. Look for “Mountpoint”, that is the exact location. You could try copying that to bind mount location, though I can’t be sure if it will continue to work.I just did another test.
You should be able to create the directories manually. I cheated by simply cloning the repo and copying them to the bind mount location like so. You can use the bind mount method like you wanted.
Oh that’s great.
So do I need to keep this ?
No, since you are using the bind mount, you do not need to use the volume.
Thank you very much !
You’re welcome! Also thanks for asking this question, I hadn’t seen ShotShare before, it looks useful.
Ugh permission issues…
I have no idea how the shotshare image works, but an easier method is to specify the puid/pgid in the docker-compose:
If the docker image supports it, the
--user
flag is also helpful :).I know those works with volume mounts, no idea about bind mounts.
