Where does container expect config.yml to be mounted to

Hi Jesse

Where does your container expect the config.yml file to be mounted. I have tried a few obvious locations but get the failed to read config file "": open : no such file or directory error.

Have manually jumped on to the container and run ./unifi_exporter -config.file config.yml from the working directory and everything works fine, so would assume it is just an issue with my mount location.

Hello,

The Dockerfile specifies /bin/unifi_exporter as entrypoint without any arguments, so you need to specify the path to your config file yourself with -config.file=<path to config>. That is why the error message says failed to read config file "":
note that there is no path given in the error message.

See docker entrypoint docu to find out how to append an argument to the entrypoint.

The kubernetes manifest however defines an argument and thus the container in k8s expects the config file under /unifi_exporter/config.yml.

hope it helps

Here's a sample docker command:
docker run -d --name Unifi_Exporter --restart=always --publish 9130:9130 -v ./config.yml:/etc/config.yml jessestuart/unifi_exporter -config.file /etc/config.yml

I think this should be added to the repositories README.md

It's a bit annoying to crawl through issues to find the exact argument to parse the config into the container.
