Config file not being created
What do you need help with?
I am trying to run pyatv in a docker container, but it is not creating any pyatv.conf file after running the wizard. Does anyone have the persistent mount working with a docker container?
docker run -it --rm --network=host -v ~/docker/pyatv_config:/root/.config/pyatv ghcr.io/postlund/pyatv:latest atvremote wizard

It is created in the home directory of the running user, e.g. /root/pyatv.conf. So you should set up /root as a volume and hopefully that will work.
@postlund thanks for the quick reply. I tried changing to the home directory, but still don't see any pyatv.conf in the home directory after running the wizard. Any ideas?
docker run -it --rm --network=host -v /home/pi:/root/.config/pyatv ghcr.io/postlund/pyatv:latest atvremote wizard
Right, I think HOME is at to just / in that image. You can try binding /.pyatv.conf as a volume directly (-v /.pyatv.conf:/somewhere/pyatv.conf).
Thanks for support, got this working with:
- In user home directory
touch my_pyatv.conf -
docker run -it --rm --network=host -v /my_pyatv.conf:/root/.config/pyatv/pyatv.conf ghcr.io/postlund/pyatv:latest atvremote scan
