Windows path to map

laflama

Hi,
Whait is the Windows path syntax to map drives to Cardinal Server?
For example, T:\Photos:/photos doesn't seem to work

  - PATH_TO_MY_MUSIC_FILES:/music
  - PATH_TO_MY_PHOTO_FILES:/photos
  - PATH_TO_MY_TV_FILES:/tv
  - PATH_TO_MY_MOVIE_FILES:/movies

Thanks,

André

Hi, on Windows you probably need to wrap the whole line in double quotes and change the back slashes to forward slashes. Example:

"T:/Photos:/photos"

Make sure you're also using the latest docker-compose.yaml file. I finalized it a few days ago and moved it to a new Docker page: https://hub.docker.com/r/cardinalapps/home-server

If it still doesn't work, please share the error message.

Hi. Strangely enough, everything works fine, without the quotes, when the target disk is internal. If it's an external USB disk, then the Cardinal server doesn't seem to be able to recognize this volume.

Hello. Photo files are found, but never indexed, even after waiting several minutes for only 21 photos. If I try to refresh the page, the number of photos found goes from 21 to 42, then 63 at each refresh and so on, still without indexing them. I'm using Docker on Windows.

Hey, yeah I have that bug (and a few others) fixed already in the next version. I was not expecting anyone to be using the apps so soon, I'm still a few weeks away from announcing anything. I'll publish v0.1.11 tomorrow.

I published v0.1.11, it should fix the issue.

Good Work! Works fine for me now.
