📝 Describe your problem

I moved all my docker volumes from old server to new server.
I am new to dckge, ok - I want to create uptime-kuma using an existing volume - I created the volume using docker volume

I get the error
service refers to undefined volume invalid compose project

I have to manually update the compose file to look like this before it starts.

version: "3.8"
services:
  uptime-kuma:
    image: louislam/uptime-kuma
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 3001:3001
    volumes:
      - uptime-kuma:/app/data
volumes: <<
  uptime-kuma: <<
      external: true <<
networks:
  dockge_default:
    external: true

Maybe a UI option, like with networks on the right side to handle like volumes you add. you can change the check box to "external"?
Or have a drop down in the volumes bit to select existing volumes

I know this is the case.. usually you just want to bind to a directory that is easy for backup I guess.. but im migrating this is easiest option.

What I ended up doing is putting all my data into each stack directory. I figure that each stack is not fully self-contained so its easy to backup, restore or migrate. This also works really well if the underlying system is ZFS with snapshots.. can easily revert a single folder in case of problems.

This also works really nicely with the GUI.

1. create stack with bindings
2. save stack
3. directories get created
4. create/move data directories
5. start stack

• stack location
  • /opt/stacks/wordpress
• volume binding, example
  • /opt/stacks/wordpress/data:/var/www
