    So. I added home assistant and homarr to my docker compose stack. When I updated the stack to pull the new images. I lost all my saved info and files. Why is this? I’m imaging I need to define a storage point for the files ?

      Yep, that’s exactly what you need. It’s a right of docker passage to not have a volume set up and lose all of your settings/data.

      What you are talking about is volumes. You can probably Google a dozen examples but I highly recommend trying chatgpt for questions like that.

      It’s pretty good about telling you what you need to do or how to fix a issue with your compose file.
