docker linode - rclone - mount - file/folder not exist

Hey there,

I may be misreading your configuration, so I wanted to make sure, are you binding or using volumes to do this?

Binds are attaching specific files or folders on a host to a container. Volumes are essentially adding a drive to the container, the data in that drive is stored in Docker's own private folders.

This sounds like an issue I was having with some of my containers a while back (I also use Portainer for management of mine) I was trying to set up a container that had specific access to the files of another container and be accessible from the host. The easiest way to do this was have a folder on the host ~/home/$user/files. Then binding that folder to a specific spot in the containers. ~/home/$user/hostfiles. I had messed up the path for binding my files. Since I hadn't deployed the system simply deleting and rebinding the correct directory was the easiest fix for me. Binds require a full exact path to work from / to the specific folder.

If this is your first time messing around with docker I would recommend taking a look at couple videos Network Chuck created.

Hello

thank you for your comment, Really appreciate that

yes, this is the first time I tried using docker. Not that I've learned deep, but only follow some instruction just to install the server on the docker. I've some logic of the structure, but not in deep knowledge, at all.

yes, more less. But since my rclone mount is on the host, I need the server on the docker/portainer to access the mounted folder from the host

These are the compose setup on the stacks
1st server
volumes(:)
- (/path/to/audiobooks):/audiobooks
- (/path/to/podcasts):/podcasts
- (/path/to/config):/config
- (/path/to/metadata):/metadata
Note: Remember to change the path to your actual directory and remove the <> symbols
Note: Volume mappings should all be separate directories that are not contained in eachother.

MINE : (/kindlezz/media/pcloud/AudiobooksR:/audiobooksR)

2nd server
volumes:
- ./manga:/manga
- ./data:/kavita/config

MINE : (/kindlezz/media/pcloud/ComicsR:/ComicsR)

Both This compose should be binding right ?

Then binding that folder to a specific spot in the containers. ~/home/$user/hostfiles. => I should have also bind this too (as instructed) from above docker compose.

/user/hostfolders:/docker-folder
=> I can't use ~/home/user/hostfolders => it came out error
=> audiobookshelf-1 Starting Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/home/kindlezz/media/pcloud/AudiobooksR': mkdir /home/kindlezz/media/pcloud: file exists

I suspect this has to do the wrong mapping with this binding or volume to my host

Until now, i have no idea what went wrong

PS : thx for the link video, I will definitly watch that later on
