When deploying Stream in containers local configuration changes will not persist. Is there a setting to fix this?

@kmccririe I think you should take a look at the CRIBL_VOLUME_DIR environment variable. This defines a directory that is used to persist data between containers or ephemeral instances. When you start your Leader node, be sure you have this environment variable set each time.

Heres a sample docker-compose.yml that can be used for a leader node where all of the configs will be placed inside a folder called cribl in your users home directory:

version: '3'services:  leader:  image: cribl/cribl:latest  ports:  - "9000:9000"  volumes:  - ~/cribl:/opt/criblvolume  container_name: cribl_leader  hostname: leader  environment:  CRIBL_DIST_MODE: master  CRIBL_DIST_MASTER_URL: tcp://criblmaster@0.0.0.0:4200  CRIBL_VOLUME_DIR: /opt/criblvolume  worker:  image: cribl/cribl:latest  container_name: cribl_worker  environment:  CRIBL_DIST_MASTER_URL: tcp://criblmaster@leader:4200

Another resource that might be useful is the SE Office Hours from 4/6/2022 where I discuss the CRIBL_VOLUME_DIR and its practical applications for scenarios like rehydrating environments in the cloud.
