Allow for multiple data folders

[PREngineer]

Most people keep their books, audiobooks, comics, etc. in separate directories.

It would be great if the application would allow a person to add multiple directories that contain separate content like:

/comics
/books
/magazines

instead of just a /data folder

We can already do that. I have my English and Dutch comics in separate folders and have imported them as such.

You can always map more volumes in your docker-compose file.

are you talking about multiple folders by library, or mounting in the Docker image ?

Apologies, I haven't tried the application yet except for the demo. The demo didn't have the option to add libraries and the sample docker file only mentioned a single /data path.

I had no way to know that the application interface allows you to search for different paths within the /data directory that you specify.

Am I right to understand this as follows:

I can have the following directory structure:

/data
../comics
../books
../magazines

I can mount the /data folder to the container and then manually add different libraries based on the folders inside?

I am working on a YouTube video on how to set this up that a subscriber requested on my YouTube channel.

Yes, Docker allows you to mount folders as you like, it's entirely transparent to the application running in the container.
