I've changed the title and moved to discussions, since this looks to affect a specific environment (Unraid) |

Ah, I see. It's running in Docker compose, so can't imagine it's too married to unraid unless there's something weird. Thanks |

Hello there, I would reallllllllly encourage you to learn Docker Compose, I’m more than happy to help, but lasting experience in that environment will do you so much good! Unraid’s Community Applications are wonderful, however the way I see them from my experience, are somewhat of training wheels and convenience. If one is serious about learning Docker, invest time in learning the syntax of Docker Compose. It is relatively easy to learn! From there, you can grab YAMLs from Github, like the one here for Production, and begin editing the template to fill in the information you need, ie, database passwords, etc. Of course you’ll want the .env file too. That’s really all you need most of the time to get started.
It was easy to setup using Docker Compose, and you can use the Docker Compose plugin in Unriad, and when creating a new compose file, point your directory to /mnt/user/appdata/FOLDER_NAME — this makes it easier to keep track of your compose files, rather than storing them to USB. (Or wherever you store your application data), some people are on /opt.

Hi @srvprivate <https://github.com/srvprivate>
I was also looking to get mediacms working on unraid. Unfortunately not under the comunity apps and to be honest, I've not much of a clue to get it done with docker compose.
Do you mind to share some details how you got it setup on unraid?
Would really appreciate that.
Thanks a lot.
