SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps administrators manage Docker containers on CasaOS by detailing persistent data paths, app configurations, and CasaOS-specific volume conventions to reduce confusion and errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Locate and manage persistent data: Understand where app data is stored, typically under /DATA/AppData/, and how it maps to containers.
  • App configuration visibility: Identify where CasaOS stores app configurations under /var/lib/casaos/apps/ and how these compose files drive deployments.
  • Use Case: When you need to backup, migrate, or audit a CasaOS app deployment, this Skill guides data and config inspection and mapping to docker-compose.

Quick Start

Navigate to /DATA/AppData/<app-name>/ to inspect persistent data, then review /var/lib/casaos/apps/<app-name>/docker-compose.yml to understand deployment and backups.

Frequently Asked Questions about casaos-docker

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Where does CasaOS store Docker app data for persistent containers?▼

CasaOS stores persistent Docker app data under the /DATA/AppData/<app-name>/ directory. You can inspect this path to understand volume mappings and review exactly what data persists when the container is stopped or restarted.

How do I find the docker-compose configuration for a CasaOS app?▼

CasaOS app configurations are stored as compose files under /var/lib/casaos/apps/<app-name>/docker-compose.yml. Reviewing this manifest reveals the deployment configuration and volume conventions driving the container setup.

What is the best way to audit a CasaOS Docker deployment for backups?▼

To audit a CasaOS deployment for backups, inspect the persistent data in /DATA/AppData/<app-name>/ and cross-reference it with the deployment manifest in /var/lib/casaos/apps/ to ensure all volume patterns are captured.

Can I migrate CasaOS Docker containers by copying the app data directory?▼

Migrating CasaOS Docker containers requires copying both the /DATA/AppData/<app-name>/ directory for persistent data and the /var/lib/casaos/apps/<app-name>/ directory for app configuration to ensure the deployment functions correctly on the new host.

How does CasaOS handle volume patterns for Docker container management?▼

CasaOS handles volume patterns by mapping container storage to standardized host directories, specifically placing persistent data in /DATA/AppData/ and deployment manifests in /var/lib/casaos/apps/ to reduce configuration errors.
