mapping of dir/files in compose.yaml

[FoLkjF]

new to docker and NetAlertX, recently installed both.

NetAlertX is installed in /opt/stacks/netalertx

here is compose.yaml file:
services:
netalertx:
container_name: netalertx
image: "jokobsk/netalertx:latest"
network_mode: "host"
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- ./data/config:/app/config
- ./data/db:/app/db
- ./data/logs:/app/front/log
environment:
- TZ="America/Los_Angeles"
- PORT=20211

i noticed in /opt/stacks/netalertx/data/config/app.conf that paths for the plugins are entered like this: ...

ARPSCAN

#---------------------------
ARPSCAN_CMD='python3 /app/front/plugins/arp_scan/script.py userSubnets={subnets}'

AVAHISCAN

#---------------------------
AVAHISCAN_CMD='python3 /app/front/plugins/avahi_scan/avahi_scan.py'

... so the mapping of dir/files in the compose.yaml ensures the plugins can be executed, yes? my devices are being discovered but wanted to verify.

Hi,

You don't need to map any plugins in the docker-compose.yml file as the plugin scripts are included in the image. However, you can add custom plugins by mapping your custom files as per: https://jokob-sk.github.io/NetAlertX/PLUGINS_DEV/?h=custom

What you have to map and backup, are the /app/conf and /app/db folders to keep your configuration after an upgrade. See this article for details: https://jokob-sk.github.io/NetAlertX/BACKUPS/?h=back

Hope this makes sense,
