Please assist with clearer setup instructions

Is there a version of this that doesn't disappear every time I reboot? My server rebooted, and now my TV is broken again.

As we said earlier, this is because you didn't map the /config, /recordings, /buffer directories in your docker compose file. If you don't map these to directories that live outside of the docker container, then they effectively get deleted any time you delete the container.

In my earlier example, I created directories of the same names in my OMV, and included this in my docker compose file:

Code:

volumes:
      - /config:/config
      - /recordings:/recordings
      - /buffer:/buffer

ie, this redirects those directories in the container to the permanent directories you created in OMV

I'm still not following how to do this. This solution has been completely useless, as your direct instructions guided me to create a setup that self destructs with every restart of the server.

While I appreciate getting this far, this is hardly a working set of instructions, and only a test.

Please provide step by step instructions to build this in a way that actually works right when completed, instead of a self destruct model.

It is simple don't install it so /config is to /tmp we don't know you source drive layout so we can't tell you what folder to install it to.

Tell us the folders you created for config and for recordings and we can give you better instructions.

I hadn't created folders. I'm wasn't sure where to create folders.

I just went ahead and took a guess, and built out what makes sense to me. One reboot later, things seem to be stable.

Thanks again for the help along the way.


Onto the next one - I absolutely cannot stand kodi, and have no plans to continue use of it. Which now leaves me trying to find another way to tap into what I've built here from my pi.

There's an old thread that never resolved about this - https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=56460

Should I revive the thread, or start a new one? What's in the thread is pretty much what I've already tried, so it is relevant to my current situation.
