inotify doesn't work on NFS volumes

[steven-ellis]

Need a way to force a refresh as inotify doesn't work if we're using NFS to store the media

eg

podman volume create --opt type=nfs --opt o=ro --opt device=mediaserver:/mnt/Videos Videos

podman run -d --name minidlna \
  --net=host \
  -v Video:/opt/Videos \
  -v /var/cache/minidlna:/var/cache/minidlna:Z \
  geekduck/minidlna

Is there any way to get a refresh without reloading/rebuilding the DB. I'm running with a persistent Cache and DB. Start/Stop doesn't cause a re-scan

podman stop minidlna
podman start minidlna

You can change /usr/bin/entrypoint.sh with
exec /usr/sbin/minidlnad -r -S
For force rescan each start docker

Thanks. I've already created a custom version of entrypoint.sh

#!/bin/sh

if [ -e /run/minidlna/minidlna.pid ]; then
    rm /run/minidlna/minidlna.pid
fi

exec /usr/sbin/minidlnad -r -S

And then Run via

podman run -d --name minidlna \
  --net=host \
  -v VideoVol:/opt/Videos \
  -v Audio:/opt/Music \
  -v /root/containers/minidlna/cache:/var/cache/minidlna:Z \
  --mount type=bind,src=/root/containers/minidlna/entrypoint.sh,target=/usr/bin/entrypoint.sh,relabel=shared \
  geekduck/minidlna

To force a rescan podman restart minidlna

Having an API option to force a rescan rather than restarting the pod would be very useful.
