Yes you’re correct. Right now in the instructions and in the dockerfile I’m mapping 2 directories so that they’re accessible on the host: * The XWiki permanent directory * The DB directory I’ve just created a new jira issue to also map the 2 main configuration files you may want to modify: * xwiki.cfg * xwiki.properties https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XDOCKER-20 I’ll work on that real soon. Would that fit your need? Thanks -Vincent > > > Thanks > -- > Marcelo
