How to access etherpad settings.json from outside the container?

[jeffrson]

Hi,

what's the point of having settings.json in a volume? How can I access it from outside the container?

For me it seems, the file is recreated every time a new container is run (eg. after reboot).

It seems it settings.json is build from "Environment variables". So you don't need to edit it.

Then, it recreates only if you remove the container: docker rm etherpad

If you do a stop and up, the file remains the same.

Maybe we can propose a way to install and keep installed some plugins.
