Hi everyone, I'm new to Wolf. I was trying to load my local machine folder, /home/awcator/games, into the kodi container. I'm following this guide: https://games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/stable/user/quickstart.html (NVIDIA Container Toolkit).
What am I missing? Mounting directly to the main container is not working because Kodi runs in a separate container.

Update :

[[apps]]
icon_png_path = 'https://games-on-whales.github.io/wildlife/apps/kodi/assets/icon.png'
title = 'Kodi'

    [apps.runner]
    base_create_json = '''{
  "HostConfig": {
    "IpcMode": "host",
    "Privileged": false,
    "CapAdd": ["NET_RAW", "MKNOD", "NET_ADMIN"],
    "DeviceCgroupRules": ["c 13:* rmw", "c 244:* rmw"]
  }
}
'''
    devices = []
    env = [ 'RUN_SWAY=true', 'GOW_REQUIRED_DEVICES=/dev/input/* /dev/dri/* /dev/nvidia*','USER=awcator','HOME=/home/awcator' ] #<-------------here
    image = 'ghcr.io/games-on-whales/kodi:edge'
    mounts = ["/home/awcator:/home/awcator:rw"]  #<-------------here
    name = 'WolfKodi'
    ports = []
    type = 'docker'

Adding the following lines to /etc/wolf/cfg/config.toml worked for me. Is this the correct approach? Can i run without docker? I just wanted headless server

Yep, that is the right approach.
Just bear in mind that when mounting paths like that you might have issues if multiple Moonlight clients try to write to a file simultaneously.
If this is used just to stream to one device at a time you are good to go. 😉
