Homarr not storing customizations. (alien.top)

I've gone through and setup a Homarr dashboard with a number of customizations. I exited the edit mode before leaving. When I start up the container is comes up with all the original defaults. I don't live in Paris for example and all my custom docker container icons are no longer there.

Any thoughts?

Here is the docker-compose.yml file I used to set it up. In all my other container docker-compose.yml file persistent storage is contained in it:

docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
#---------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Homarr - A simple, yet powerful dashboard for your server. #
#---------------------------------------------------------------------#
services:
homarr:
container_name: homarr
image: ghcr.io/ajnart/homarr:latest
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- ./homarr/configs:/app/data/configs
- ./homarr/icons:/app/public/icons
ports:
- '7575:7575'

So when I see /app/data/configs I assumed that was where the configuration changes are stored.

Does your docker-compose file differ?

Thanks for the feedback.

  - ./homarr/icons:/app/public/icons

After checking the Homarr documentation, this looks correct to me.

If your settings still disappeared after a container restart it could (imo) be two things:

  • your data got corrupted on the host for a variety of reasons

  • its a bug in Homarr or Docker

So once again:

For specific questions about Docker issues i would suggest /r/Docker as example, and for Homarr itself the ideal place is their Github page.
