[BUG] Unable to add custom js and css.
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] I have searched the existing issues
Current Behavior
Nothing, it seems grocy ignores the js and css file. I have confirmed that the files exist in the container and are in the right spot as per the instructions on the grocy GitHub page.
Expected Behavior
Grocy uses the custom js and css at started up.
Steps To Reproduce
start container using docker compose in portainer.

im pretty sure it works.

It does not work, I also checked the file inside the filesystem of the docker container. The file is present in the correct directory, user rights als okay, but it still does not work.
Even on startup of grocy, it says
[custom-init] No custom files found, skipping...
Any help would be much appreciated since I really need this feature, otherwise I cannot continue to use grocy in docker.
Thank you!

This is completely unrelated. Its from LSIO, not Grocy
OP would need to just use a single mount point and the edit the files within data accordingly.
Instead of:
volumes:
- devgrocy:/config
- /home/bob/docker/grocydev/custom:/config/data
They would just do:
volumes:
- /home/bob/docker/grocy/appdata:/config

Thanks for the clarification, I didn't know that.
I have only one single mountpoint. The content of the file is like this:
<script>
if (Grocy.ActiveNav == "products")
{
$("#related-links").append('<a class="btn btn-danger grocycodes-label-list-button" href="#">Grocycodes label list</a>');
$(document).on("click", ".grocycodes-label-list-button", function()
{
Grocy.Api.Get("objects/products?query[]=active=1&order=name",
function(products)
{
document.body.innerHTML = "";
for (var i = 0; i < products.length; i++)
{
var product = products[i];
document.write(' \
<div style="border: 1px solid black; width: 200px; text-align: center; padding: 5px 0 5px 0;"> \
<img src="' + U("/product/" + product.id + "/grocycode?size=80") + '" /> \
<h1 style="margin: 2px 0 2px 0;">' + product.name + '</h1> \
</div>');
}
}
);
});
}
</script>
This should add a button, snippet is from the grocy dev in this Reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/grocy/s/AxqunOwHUz
However unfortunately the button is not there (in master data / products / "hamburger menu")
I also made sure the file is in the same folder like the grocy.db is, as described by the Grocy dev (which is /config/data/). I even chmod'ed the file with 666 to make sure it is not because of access rights.
By the way, there was already someone complaining about this in thread:
Unfortunately the Grocy dev could not help because of the containerization with Docker.
So you guys are the last resort 😃
