How to make settings persistant?

[Elespecia]

Description

I'm sick of having to make all the settings every now and then, and everytime I redeploy the Docker-image (yes, I'm running the contianerversion).

I fail to see any file that I can bind with Docker but also have limited knowledge of you NPM and NodeJS work.

Thanks for a great CNC-router controller though. It's awesome when it works :)

Good question; but I think it's a session/cookie thing, meaning it's only persisted in the browser. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

I think you're right.
That's not ideal with machine settings, macros and configurations.

So I think I might have this fixed, try these volumes and see if that helps. The .cncjs-sessions is a folder, .cncrc is a file. You will need to create a blank file for the .cncrc, or it will create a folder

name: cncjs
services:
  cncjs:
    container_name: cnc
    image: cncjs/cncjs:latest
    privileged: true
    ports:
      - 80:8000
    volumes:
      - ./cncjs/.cncjs-sessions:/root/.cncjs-sessions
      - ./cncjs/.cncrc:/root/.cncrc

Thanks for the advice but there is no files in my .cncjs-sessions and the .cncrc only involve a token to a session where the settings are stored.
To not loose all my settings once again I need to extract the settings prior to recreating the container but no settings are to be found.

However, locating the secret is one of two keys for persistance I think.

Perhaps the key is to figure out where cncjs-app-1.10.3.json is located and after exported have it bound.
But where is is located? I think the devs can tell us in a second if they look at this issue.
