So, I don't really know Docker on Windows (or Windows really), but 'StackOverflow discusses it here' (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61083772/where-are-docker-volumes-located-when-running-windows-and-wsl). As you say, they appear to be in some sort of VM. But my question is why do you want to access the files directly? The point of a volume is that you can just let Docker deal with it. Necromancyr wrote: > Given, I could be misunderstanding the intention of volumes totally. Using Docker often means changing how you think about things. It might help to think less where files are, and instead think about the volume as a journalling mechanism. It captures all the changes that an app makes, like a snapshot. And this is then very portable. (I over simplify.) Apart from backups, I don't think I've ever wanted to access the LMS volume. If you wanted to pock around, you can spin up another container, connect the volume to it, and do what you want. Take a look at the Docker documentation on volumes, specifically, 'making a backup of a volume' (https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/#backup-restore-or-migrate-data-volumes). One command will make a Ubuntu container to access your volume and tar the contents to a file for you. If there is something you specifically need to edit or change within the container, then these days it is common to use environment variables to specify options to the image. This lets a container be very disposable, and you may not need a volume at all. One potential feature for the LMS container would be to specify a Spotify username and password as an environment variable in the compose file. Then, when you spin up the container, you don't need to do setup; Spotty is set up and ready to run. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dasos's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66897 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111828 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
