About Custom Themes

[fivetail]

First and foremost, thank you so much for developing such a wonderful, robust project--I've been looking for something like this for years. I have extremely limited experience with code (and zero experience with Linux) and needed help setting it up, but because of how well Shimmie2 functions, I was able to learn a lot and we got it all up and running in under an hour. That being said, I apologize in advance for how painfully novice my question will be.

Version: Docker
OS: Ubuntu 22.04
Web Server: Nginx (only the proxy manager atm)

I have read the added documentation about custom themes, along with a couple of other questions asked here in Q&A, but my lack of knowledge makes it difficult to follow along. I've downloaded the included themes separately and I'm tweaking one to my liking--once finished, how do I go about uploading the adjusted theme to a directory that can be read via the -v /my/folder/with/theme:/app/themes/mytheme command? How do I find my equivalent of the /home/shish/website/theme directory from the example in the documentation? I've tried uploading it to the root folder via WinSCP, but the file path isn't being recognized.

Thanks in advance for any help. I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious here.

Hello, again! We were able to work it out. What we ended up doing was adding an additional volume under /var/lib/docker/volumes/, resulting in the full path being /var/lib/docker/volumes/[themefoldername]/_data. We mapped the new volume to the live container under /app/themes.

Please note that if you want continued access to the existing default themes, this will require you to copy them over from the GitHub into /var/lib/docker/volumes/[themefoldername]/_data.
