This is probably me mis-understanding something, if so I apologize, but hopefully someone else experiencing the same can benefit from this too.

When I create my container, I pass in an environment var:

`-e "SCRIPTDIR=/root/dehdrated/configs/"

and then I mount a folder that includes both my config and domains.txt file:

`-v ./configs:/root/dehydrated/configs/"

but when I issue the command, dehydrated isn't able to locate my config file? Yet, if I launch into a bash for the container when I start it, issuing:

cat $SCRIPTDIR/config will produce my whole config file ??

So am I interpreting this incorrectly?

# This file is looked for in the following locations:  #
# $SCRIPTDIR/config (next to this script) 
# /usr/local/etc/dehydrated/config

Everything works fine if I mount my configs into /usr/local/etc/dehydrated

(and my reason for trying to mount it in a custom directory is so that I don't get files written back into the host, which happens at /usr/local/etc/dehydrated... although I'm not sure that matters.)

dehydrated sets $SCRIPTDIR to be the directory in which the dehydrated script itself is located.

If you wish to supply the path to a config file at run time then use --config /path/to/config/file

You can then supply the path to domains.txt in the specified config file.
