config file seems not working

[adamspd]

Hello everyone, I have configured verdaccio on a centos server and followed the tuto in the documentation. I used a docker container and my repository tree looks like this :

/root/verdacio/
         |_____ conf/
         |       |___config.yaml 
         |_____ logo
         |      |____mylogo.ico
         |      |____mylogo.png
         |_____ plugins
         |_____ storage

My config.yaml file look like this :

storage: /root/verdaccio/storage
plugins: /root/verdaccio/plugins
web:
  enable: true
  title: "MyStartUp"
  logo: /root/verdaccio/logo/mylogo.png
  gravatar: true
  scope: "@mystartup"
  sort_packages: asc | desc
  darkmode: true
  favicon: /root/verdaccio/logo/mylogo.ico
auth:
  htpasswd:
    file: ./htpasswd
uplinks:
  npmjs:
    url: https://registry.npmjs.org/
packages:
  '@mystartup/':
    access: $authenticated
    publish: $authenticated
  '@*/*':
    access: $authenticated
    publish: $authenticated
    unpublish: $authenticated
    proxy: npmjs
  '**':
    access: $authenticated
    publish: $authenticated
    unpublish: $authenticated
    proxy: npmjs
middlewares:
  audit:
    enabled: true
max_body_size: 100mb
logs:
  - {type: stdout, format: pretty, level: http}

My questions are ?
Why do I find my packages (when I publish one) in /var/lib/docker/volumes/someID/_data/data ? I had a hard time finding them.
Why the logo doesn't work and I still have verdaccio's logo in the UI, the title remains verdaccio and even though I'm not authenticated, when I go to the web ui, I still can download the packages (not yet tested via the terminal) ?

I thought it could be a problem due to the location of the conf file (since I saw in one of the youtube video that the guy had something like ~/verdaccio/conf/verdaccio/config.yaml) and I did the same, restart the docker container but my problem remained.

Thanks so much for your time.

@adamspd I'm a bit confused here. Please correct me, If I'm wrong.
I assume this is not using either k8s or helm chart. But only using Docker.

So, this discussion is not relevant here. But here https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/discussions or discord #help channel.
Please also mention how is your docker run command looks, are these configs inside the container or did you attach volume to it?

[adamspd]

@pshanoop No, you're right, this is not using k8s or helm chart but only docker component. No theses configs are not inside the container. I attached volume to them. What do you mean by docker run command ? (docker start verdaccio) ??

[pshanoop]

What, I feel, is your config file is not used by verdaccio. Instead, it's using default one.
This happens if you didn't configure the config path correctly. Verdaccio docker image expects config path https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/blob/master/Dockerfile#L57 /verdaccio/conf/config.yaml Unless you modified the cmd.

This is why I asked how did you start the container. ? What is the docker run command you used in initial time. ?

[adamspd]

That's what I felt to.
I have used

    --publish 4873:4873 \
    --volume `pwd`/conf:/verdaccio/conf \
    --volume `pwd`/storage:/verdaccio/storage \
    --volume `pwd`/plugins:/verdaccio/plugins \
    --name verdaccio \
    verdaccio/verdaccio ```

[pshanoop]

Can you do this sudo docker exec verdaccio cat /verdaccio/conf/config.yaml? And check if this it is the right file as you mounted.

It looks like you have a bit of confusion around docker generally and how the docker virtual filesystems work relative to your machine filesystem. The config paths will need to reflect the docker container filesystem and the files will also need to be mounted within the container. I'd recommend completing some fundamentals material like perhaps https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/the-docker-handbook/ to help cut down on the confusion here.

Apologies in advance if this is not the case and I am misunderstanding your question. Also worth noting this is the wrong venue for docker questions as mentioned above but thought it worth sending you to something useful on your way to the right place

[adamspd]

Yes, probably, I'm pretty new to devops. Thanks for the documentation link. Can I change it to the docker threads ?

[adamspd]

I've resolved my problem in a dirty way but it works anyway. I went to the server and did a find -type f -name "config.yaml" and therefore I've found the default config file that verdaccio were using, I did some modifications and everything were working fine except the logo that I can't change since according to what I understand, I can't use a path for it but an http link.
