Hi,
I did used for a long time the portable version of Gramps. I paused for a couple of years and now I want to start where I left.
My setup is a raspberry pi 4 with 8GB RAM on which I have a NFS share from my NAS. I wanted to try the new GrampsJS interface and so made the execution as described on the documents (Deployment > Docker). I’m using the proposed docker-compose.yml file (though I changed the port 80 to keep 5000).
The execution was perfect.
My only issue is that the import only supports importing a .gramps file (plain XML) but not the package one (gpkg), so even though the import was successful I cannot see the media information (the sources references are correctly imported but the media obviously not).
Is there a way to manually copy the media files to the docker container or mount a NFS share to docker? (I’m not a docker expert) so that the media files can be recovered and that I don’t have to add them one by one?
When a I did the backup I did it in both formats: gramps and gpkg. I also kept the file structure of my media files on my NAS (and on a separate USB drive). So I do have the files and the relative structure.
Thanks for any pointer.

Finally I managed to make it work.
I’m leaving here what I did in case some else runs into the same issue.
On the docker-compose.yml file I changed the following line under volumes (inside service, below grampsweb) :
- gramps_media:/app/media # persist media files
by replacing gramps_media by the path of my NFS mount. so the file ended up like this:
version: "3.7"
services:
grampsweb: &grampsweb
image: ghcr.io/gramps-project/grampsweb:latest
restart: always
ports:
- "5000:5000" # host:docker
environment:
GRAMPSWEB_TREE: "Gramps Web" # will create a new tree if not exists

depends_on:

- gramps_tmp:/tmp
grampsweb_celery:
<<: *grampsweb # YAML merge key copying the entire grampsweb service config
ports: []
container_name: grampsweb_celery
depends_on:
- grampsweb_redis
command: celery -A gramps_webapi.celery worker --loglevel=INFO
grampsweb_redis:

container_name: grampsweb_redis
restart: always
volumes:
gramps_users:
gramps_index:
gramps_thumb_cache:
gramps_secret:
gramps_db:
gramps_media:
gramps_tmp:
after making the change running again docker-compose up -d updated the environment execution and I could actually see my media files.
