Mount volumes

[maxmonz69]

Hi,
I just installed netalertx on Raspberry pi3 using docker compose but it didn't mount the directories on my local path.

This is the compose

services:
pialert:
container_name: netalertx
image: "ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx:25.5.24"
network_mode: "host"
restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  - /opt/stacks/netalertx/config:/data/config
  - /opt/stacks/netalerx/db:/data/db
  - /opt/stacks/netalertx/logs:/tmp/log
environment:
  - TZ=Europe/Rome
  - PORT=20211

The app, config and logs directories are empty.
The application works fine (maybe a bit slow) but I don't understand what's wrong with my compose file.
Any help?

This works fine for me:

services:
  netalertx_fresh:
    container_name: netalertx_fresh
    image: ghcr.io/netalertx/netalertx
    network_mode: "host"
    privileged: true
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ${APP_DATA_LOCATION}/netalertx_fresh/db:/data/db
      - ${APP_DATA_LOCATION}/netalertx_fresh/config:/data/config
    environment:
      - PUID=0
      - GUID=100
      - PORT=20211
      - LOADED_PLUGINS=['ARPSCAN','CSVBCKP','DBCLNP', 'INTRNT','MAINT','NEWDEV','NSLOOKUP','NTFPRCS', 'AVAHISCAN', 'SETPWD','SMTP', 'SYNC', 'VNDRPDT', 'WORKFLOWS', 'UI', 'PIHOLE', 'NMAP', 'DHCPLSS']
    # 🆕 New "tmpfs" section START 🔽
    tmpfs: 
      # /tmp is required by php for session save this should be reworked to /services/run/tmp
      - "/tmp:uid=20211,gid=20211,mode=1700,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,async,noatime,nodiratime"
    # 🆕 New "tmpfs" section END  🔼

If I try this one I'm gonna lose my configuration.
I configured a lot of things, especially devices. I know the db and config files are somewhere on /var/lib/docker
/var/lib/docker/overlay2/593789e30b1363ba82bc0f98f8663c8a6c84241b56e296a98429cd5bd6bcb38b/diff/app/db/app.db

I don't know which is the right one.
How can I save those files to avoid re-configuring everything?

By the way, ${APP_DATA_LOCATION} is an env variable? Where did you set it up?

Download your config and devices from Maintenance - > Backup / Restore. See https://docs.netalertx.com/BACKUPS/?h=backu

Do not touch that variable, it's for internal use only. Only use the ones mentioned here https://docs.netalertx.com/DOCKER_INSTALLATION/#default-ports

Verify your backups before wiping your install by spinning up a separate container.
