First off, if someone has a better solution to host a static web page or I have missed some simple functionality of SCALE I am open to ditching this avenue and trying something different. With that said, I already know how to use Nginx and would like to use it.
I am trying to use the "custom app" feature to install the official docker image of nginx but am having difficulty getting host paths working. With no permissions and no host paths the container deploys with no issues and the "Welcome to Nginx" page is accessible through the port forwarding I configured. No other settings were changed besides the image repository, tag, and port forwarding.
My issue starts if I try to map a host path to any directory in the pod. If I map any host path to any container path the pod will not deploy. I have tried with and without configuring the container user and group ID (both 568). I tried using the truecharts custom app tool as well but I can't get it to deploy no matter what I do with that.
My goal would be to map /usr/share/nginx and /etc/nginx in the container to .../Apps/nginx/nginx-data and .../Apps/nginx/nginx-conf respectively on the host.
This is only an issue with Nginx. All apps I've tried from the official charts and truecharts have worked. I have about 20 installed. I also did a test with the Linuxserver sonarr image as a custom app and it works fine with host path mappings.
I am not a professional and do not have a ton of experience with this stuff so if I'm having a fundamental misunderstanding of how this stuff works please let me know.
With the built-in custom app named "nginx" it gives this error:
With the truecharts custom app named "nginx-truecharts" it gives this error:
It may be worth noting I was having a similar issue about 4 months ago when I first set up this server. I couldn't get any apps to work at that point. The solution was to move from bluefin to cobia and everything has been fine since (other than this).
