Errors changing folder location of servers data files

[LeoKryssen]

Hi,
I'm pretty new to docker and pterodactyl, but i need your help
I'm running both pterocactyl and wings inside docker, with compose, files both available below.

I trides to run a paper minecraft server at first, without changing any of the directories. Files go to /var/lib/pterocatyl/volumes without issues. Everything went well, the server starts, I can connect to it.

But for storage issues, I need to put files to another drive, so I changed the "Daemon Server File Directory" to my other drive, as : /mnt/storage/pterodactyl/volumes. Changed the bind mount of the docker compose of wings to that location too. But then, I encounter two errors.

The first tells me the "bind" is invalid :

container@pterodactyl~ Error Event [5e7d9a7e-ba53-4993-b14b-71b2c5bdd9ef]: environment/docker: failed to run pre-boot process: environment/docker: failed to create container: Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "bind": bind source path does not exist: /mnt/storage/pterodactyl/volumes/357b9380-6b06-4ca2-b63b-21a135363024

Same error when selecting a folder from the boot disk :

container@pterodactyl~ Error Event [5e7d9a7e-ba53-4993-b14b-71b2c5bdd9ef]: environment/docker: failed to run pre-boot process: environment/docker: failed to create container: Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "bind": bind source path does not exist: /home/leokryssen/pterodactyl/volumes/357b9380-6b06-4ca2-b63b-21a135363024

The second, when i manually create the folders, tells me the daemon can't access to the .jar file

container@pterodactyl~ java -Xms128M -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=95.0 -Dterminal.jline=false -Dterminal.ansi=true -jar server.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile server.jar

No files are created in the final folder, not like in /var/lib/pterodactyl/volumes
I checked the permissions, tried to chmod 700 and chown to root:root or 988:988 but still stucked at that last error

Here is the pterodactyl compose :

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but i don't know what

Your issue is here. /home/leokryssen/pterodactyl/volumes/:/var/lib/pterodactyl/volumes/
You can not remap the servers data folder like that. The path must be the same inside and outside the wings container.

If you want to store servers in /home/leokryssen/pterodactyl/volumes then you must map that directory to /home/leokryssen/pterodactyl/volumes inside the wings container and use /home/leokryssen/pterodactyl/volumes as the path in your wings config.yml

Hello,

But what if I use a docker named volume?

I have data:/var/lib/pterodactyl

I personally store everything in docker volumes is there any work around? Can I even do it by putting the path to where docker volumes are supposed to be stored /var/lib/docker/volumes/pterodactyl-wings-wings-1/ (shoudl i add _data) or am i blocked?

Thanks
