Problems mounting a volume

[lucasbraun77]

How do you handle volumes in Docker Compose?

If I use:

volumes:

• ./uploads:/var/www/html/public/uploads
• ./storage:/var/www/html/storage

it doesn't work, because within the image, the images and files are saved in /var/www/bookstack/storage and /var/www/bookstack/uploads.
But if I put those paths in the Docker Compose volumes:, the container doesn't start; it restarts constantly.
I want the images and files attached to the bookstack documents to be stored on the host for space and backup reasons.
Can you help me? Thanks

Have you tried:

    volumes:
    - ./uploads:/var/www/bookstack/public/uploads
    - ./storage-uploads:/var/www/bookstack/storage/uploads

(There isn't a /var/www/bookstack/uploads path AFAIK)

For reference, taken and tweaked from:

docker-bookstack/docker-compose.yml

Lines 31 to 33 in b205c49

	volumes:
	- uploads:/var/www/bookstack/public/uploads
	- storage-uploads:/var/www/bookstack/storage/uploads

Yes! It works now.

Correct, I misspelled the path to public/uploads. Regarding what you suggested, I had to put ./ before the local path, so it ended up like this:

volumes:
- ./uploads:/var/www/bookstack/public/uploads
- ./storage-uploads:/var/www/bookstack/storage/uploads

Otherwise, docker compose up -d would give an error.
Thank you very much, @ssddanbrown
