crashplan must re-adopt machine every time docker container is started

[bennytheshap]

No matter what I try, crashplan gets logged out every time I re-start it via docker.

This is reflected in an error message in the client that says "Logged out by authority - Invalid application state" (see screenshot).

Am I doing something wrong?

I am starting docker with the following command line:
docker run -h ${HOSTNAME} --name=crashplan -v /mnt/ssd/storage/crashplan/config:/config -v /mnt/ssd/storage/crashplan/var/lib/crashplan:/var/lib/crashplan -v /mnt/biggun:/data -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -p 4242:4242 -p 4243:4243 gfjardim/crashplan

You shouldn't map any volumes to /var/lib/crashplan. The container create a symlink there, and stores the identity on /config/id '

Thanks. I’ll try that.

Do you know of any way to keep the daemon from changing the .ui_info file each time it starts?

FWIW I'm having the same issue with my own crashplan Dockerfile. Haven't solved it yet. Would love a solution.

@bennytheshap Try using this line (with the :rw when starting the container:

-v /mnt/ssd/storage/crashplan/config:/config:rw

Having the same issue, and my config directory is mounted RW on host storage.
