VOLUME /config/www/gallery/galleries instead of /pictures ? about docker-piwigo HOT 2 CLOSED

since /config is already a mount point then any subfolder of /config is by default also in the mount point and there is no need to mount any subfolder separately unless you wish to have the picture folder on a separate drive etc

the /pictures volume in the Dockerfile is superfluous tbh

@sparklyballs I also got confused by the /pictures mount in the Dockerfile.

How would one use the /pictures mount? I tried in Site Manager doing "Create a new site" and pointing to /pictures but everything there is relative to the /config/www/gallery directory and it said Directory does not exist [.//pictures/]

I am able to "Create a new site" targeting ../../../pictures. However it doesn't seem to work as i.php when attempting to display an image tries to make a directory in ./_data/i/../../pictures/albumnamegoeshere

Would you be open to either a PR that removes the mount or a PR to the README that talks about where photos get stored (/config/www/gallery/galleries/) or a PR that explains how to use /pictures?
