Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf/issues/63

So, for example, for retroarch -- where do you put your games? I'm using docker-compose, and.. I've attempted to set up my games folder like so /server/games/:/home/retro/ and yet, it doesn't show games in there -- but I suspect this is because of how complex GOW/Wolf is -- I'm still getting used to even docker, lol.

By default, Wolf mounts your host /etc/wolf/<MOONLIGHT_CLIENT_ID>/<APP_NAME> into /home/retro unless you manually tweak stuff. You have two options here:

You can copy the files down that default path, this will be visible only by one client; so for example connecting from the phone will see different files than connecting from a laptop
You can add a path in the mounts = [] option in the config.toml file, this will be shared by all clients. Example:

mounts = [
    "/mnt/ROMS/:/ROMS:rw" # will mount /mnt/ROMS from the host into /ROMS in the running app
]

Alright sweet -- many thanks! I also do have a bug, but I'll make a separate thread about that -- I still need to probe deeper on it and give the debug logs on it.

Thanks, I'm testing out all the latest changes before making a release; please make sure to pull the latest :stable and check the latest quickstart guide. There's only one big change required compared to how it used to work: you have to mount /etc/wolf:/etc/wolf:rw (or whichever path the host app folder env variable is pointing to, if changing changing default).

Let me know if anything is broken!
