Add support for volumes

The -v flag of the docker command can create bind mounts or volume mounts. You may need to make some changes to the Dockerfile in the repo; for example you might need to comment out COPY . . so you can mount to /opt/puter/app.

If you're using docker-compose, you can add this:

    volumes:
      - type: bind
        source: .
        target: /opt/puter/app

I haven't tested using "." as source so there may be some trial and error involved. I'm more familiar with bind mounts than volume mounts so that's why I used that as my example, but to create a volume mount my understanding is you change type to volume and specify a volume name as the source rather than a path. The Docker documentation is a good resource for this.

Hello again - did my answer earlier help?

[zackees]

Hi there, thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately it doesn't work on my windows box. Nor does it work if I add a disk on render.com for the path, which isn't surprising since I have to mount the entire code directory instead of an empty datadirectory.

Is it possible for there to be an empty root data directory in puter that I can just set a disk to?

Also. I went ahead and tried to run this on Render.com with the disk option. I set the disk to /opt/puter/app, which isn't surprising:

Also, I want to mention that puter worked fine on Render.com (and I assume DigitalOcean) (minus a persistent volume) but the latest version refuses to go live. This is the log file that I'm getting from the service, which simply repeats over and over again:

I see in the code that there are two mappings for configurations and data.

Can we please please put this into one root folder? It's so close to working on Render.com with just a point and click install. I'm assuming a similar case would exist for AWS. All other options require engineering something for the deploy step.
