Please assist with clearer setup instructions

The reason for the /tmp folder was just to prove it works.  They will get deleted every reboot.  You need to use permanent maps before bothering to actually do configuration.

What's this now?

Do I need to do another step to keep this functional?

[JonnyGators]

Does it still work when you reboot the server?

Just checked this. Yes, it auto started when the machine was rebooted.

Word!

Thanks again.

Um - when I reboot, it's still there, but my channels all disappear.

How do I get the channels to stay?

Yes you need to edit the file and point them to folders in OMV. You may have some set up for Plex you could reuse for recordings and live tv the config folder should be somewhere else.

Where is the recommended place to create a config folder for an app like this on a linux server?

Trying to make sure I pick up best practices for these types of things.

Sub used /home/pi/config because it was on a rpi install. I choose /home/nextpvr/config. Eiither way you have to create a some folders. Since sub's example runs as root permissions won't be an issue. There is no standard for this type of thing, it will depend how you might access it, via ssh a share or a web gui if omv has one.

Ultimately you can use whatever directory names suit your environment. I'd edited my vm to these:

Code:

version: '3.5'
services:
  nextpvr:
    image: nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:stable
    container_name: nextpvr
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=100
      - TZ=Europe/london
      - HOST_IP=192.168.1.51
    ports:
      - 8866:8866
      - 16891:16891/udp
      - 8020-8030:8020-8030/udp
    volumes:
      - /config:/config
      - /recordings:/recordings
      - /buffer:/buffer
    extra_hosts:
      - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"
    restart: 'unless-stopped'

and created these /config, /recordings, /buffer folders:

This is a helpful guide on the OMV wiki that recommends a file structure for OMV and Docker setup

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

You likely never corrected your setup and are still using /tmp change it to a permanent folder https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid593289
