File Browser forgets my user settings (v0.8.10-beta))

Why does File Browser forget all my user settings when I run docker compose down, even though I’m using bind mounts for /home/filebrowser/config.yaml and /home/filebrowser/database.db?

So, I need to make this more transparent and obvious when this happens -- it shows up in the server logs when this happens:

2025/10/31 12:53:24 [INFO ] root.go:93: Initializing FileBrowser Quantum (v1.0.0-beta)
2025/10/31 12:53:24 [INFO ] root.go:94: Using Config file        : config.yaml
2025/10/31 12:53:24 [INFO ] root.go:95: Auth Methods             : [password]
2025/10/31 12:53:24 [INFO ] root.go:96: Creating new database    : /home/filebrowser/data/database.db

I bet you are running docker? I need to update my docs to clarify the process better -- docker actually looks for ./data/database.db by default rather than ./database.db

You could specify in your config whatever path you want, but by default it looks for ./data/database.db

I'll create a story to update the docs
