Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf/issues/133

I run my Wolf instance on /docker host folder mount, and since Wolf spawns additional containers, it's important that the same folder structure is shared among host and apps.

Setting HOST_APPS_STATE_FOLDER=/docker/wolf should be enough in my case, but upon testing, it seems like the Wolf container still uses /etc/wolf/cfg for the config.toml file and certificates.

Current workaround:

      - WOLF_CFG_FILE=/docker/wolf/cfg/config.toml
      - WOLF_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE=/docker/wolf/cfg/key.pem
      - WOLF_PRIVATE_CERT_FILE/docker/wolf/cfg/cert.pem

From our chat on Discord, it seems like WOLF_CFG_FOLDER is not properly linked to HOST_APPS_STATE_FOLDER.

I hope this helps!

Would be great to check that those env variables are updated properly and used, and that HOST_APPS_STATE_FOLDER can be called on paths in the config.toml file, for instance on mounts :

mounts = [ '${HOST_APPS_STATE_FOLDER}/common/Steam/steamapps:/home/retro/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps' ]
