Describe the problem

When I tried to deploy Dashy via docker compose, it made the conf.yml into a directory
my docker-compose.yml

---
version: "3.8"
services:
  dashy:
    image: lissy93/dashy
    container_name: Dashy
    volumes:
       - /mnt/1tb/dashy/:/app/public/
    ports:
      - 4000:80
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=production
      - UID=1000
      - GID=1000
    restart: unless-stopped

    healthcheck:
      test: ['CMD', 'node', '/app/services/healthcheck']
      interval: 1m30s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 40s

Oops, Found my issue

[phaedonv]

what was it though?

@phaedonv Probably you need to first create the conf.yml file on the host and fill it with the default from the github repository or first deploy the container then edit it and add the bind mount.

Option 1 will work more reliable.

Yeap, I also found the solution. 🙌
Actually, I was trying to pass one of my backup conf.ymls and I was following an older tutorial, so the part inside docker-compose.yml:

 volumes:
      - ./conf.yml:/app/public/conf.yml

needed to be changed to:

 volumes:
      - ./conf.yml:/app/user-data/conf.yml

It needed to be mounted inside the container's user-data folder! So after that everything worked like a charm 👌
