Your question:

I am using manticore as a search backend for mailpiler.org. Today i experienced an issue where manticore has lost its indexes. At first i opened an issue against piler (https://github.com/jsuto/piler/issues/179) and as a result the developer suggested that i should mount manticore's data as a persistent volume/folder, which is what i already did: https://github.com/jsuto/piler/issues/179#issuecomment-2328243984

Fortunately, piler has a command which allows it to recreate its indexes. However, this seems to be more a manticore than a piler issue, so i am asking for help: Do i mount the right folder? I followed the README of the manticore docker container and persisted the whole /var/lib/manticore folder. I am using this manticore.conf: https://github.com/jsuto/piler/blob/master/docker/manticore.conf

I could need some hints towards the right way to persist manticore's data to not lose the index again. What am i doing wrong?
