Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/cypht-org/cypht/issues/1552

Originally assigned to: @IrAlfred on GitHub.

Hi, first of all: awesome project, exactly what I was looking for.
Unfortunately, when Docker is restarted or the image is updated, the settings are gone — especially the added IMAP & SMTP accounts are lost.

Is there something that needs to be configured to make them persist?
I also performed the save operation, but unfortunately it didn’t help.

@SvensenDE You need to persist the /var/lib/hm3/users directory using a volume if you want to keep your settings after restarting or updating the Docker container.

Let us know the result of your testing or if you need further assistance!

Hello @ghost

In case you are still struggling with your setup, here is what you need.

Update your cypht service in the docker-compose.yml file to include the volumes section:

cypht:
    image: cypht/cypht:2.4.0
    ports:
        - "80:80"
    environment:
        - AUTH_USERNAME=admin
        # ... other environment variables
    volumes:
        # Mount host directories for persistent storage
        - ./data/user_settings:/var/lib/hm3/users          # User profiles and settings
        - ./data/user_attachments:/var/lib/hm3/attachments # Email attachments
