Ok so the solution was this. Thank you @mouse@midwest.social

cd /home

git clone https://github.com/mdshack/shotshare

cd .../Files/

sudo mkdir Shotshare

cd .../Files/Shotshare

sudo mkdir shotshare_data

sudo touch .env database.sqlite

cp -r /home/shotshare/storage/* .../Files/Shotshare/shotshare_data

chown 82:82 -R .../Files/Shotshare/

version: "3.3"
services:
  shotshare:
    ports:
      - 2000:80
    environment:
      - HOST=:80
      - ALLOW_REGISTRATION=false
    volumes:
      - .../Files/Shotshare/shotshare_data:/app/storage
      - .../Files/Shotshare/database.sqlite:/app/database/database.sqlite
      - .../Files/Shotshare/.env:/app/.env
    restart: unless-stopped

Hello everyone.

I am deeply struggling to install shotshare on my server using docker-compose.

I followed the instructions and I’ve been talking with someone (from their team I guess) for 2 weeks without finding a solution.

Does anyone have a working docker-compose to share so I can compare it and understand ?

    This appears to be the exact same problem as https://github.com/mdshack/shotshare/issues/31

    For testing I just spun up a VM with Docker, I tried the same compose file as you. I found I had to use the volume instead of a bind mount for /app/storage.

    This compose file should work.

    version: "3.3"
services:
  shotshare:
    ports:
      - 2000:2000
    environment:
      - HOST=:2000
      - ALLOW_REGISTRATION=false
    volumes:
      - shotshare_data:/app/storage
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7fe66601-5ca0-4c09-bc13-a015025fe53a/Files/Shotshare/database.sqlite:/app/database/database.sqlite
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7fe66601-5ca0-4c09-bc13-a015025fe53a/Files/Shotshare/.env:/app/.env
    restart: unless-stopped
    container_name: shotshare
    image: mdshack/shotshare:latest
volumes:
    shotshare_data:
networks: {}

      Oh wow, thanks for trying this. It is working indeed.

      I am an absolute begginer so let me ask. Where is shotshare_data on my machine ? Is it in docker volumes ( like /var/lib/docker/volumes/) ? Is there a way I can store data in /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7fe66601-5ca0-4c09-bc13-a015025fe53a/Files/Shotshare/ ?

        I just did another test.

        You should be able to create the directories manually. I cheated by simply cloning the repo and copying them to the bind mount location like so. You can use the bind mount method like you wanted.

        git clone https://github.com/mdshack/shotshare
cp -r shotshare/storage/* /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7fe66601-5ca0-4c09-bc13-a015025fe53a/Files/Shotshare/shotshare_data/
chown 82:82 -R /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7fe66601-5ca0-4c09-bc13-a015025fe53a/Files/Shotshare/shotshare_data

          Ugh permission issues…

          I have no idea how the shotshare image works, but an easier method is to specify the puid/pgid in the docker-compose:

          environment:
  - PUID=82
  - PGID=82

          If the docker image supports it, the --user flag is also helpful :).

          I know those works with volume mounts, no idea about bind mounts.

        It will be stored in /var/lib/docker/volumes, you can find the exact location by inspecting the volume. Use docker volume ls to list the volumes, and do docker volume inspect <volume_name> replacing <volume_name> with the one from the list. Look for “Mountpoint”, that is the exact location. You could try copying that to bind mount location, though I can’t be sure if it will continue to work.
