How do I save settings permanently?

[RedShark82]

I have installed lobe-chat via Docker on my home server. However, it seems that you cannot specify a volume, which is why my settings are gone after an update. I have seen that you can download a configuration file, but it can't be meant that you have to import it again after every update. So how can I save my settings permanently?

The setting is persisted in your browser db. So It won't missing after you upgrade docker version

Thanks for the explanation, then it wasn't the update but the fact that I was using a different PC/browser. Saving the data in a volume would be better from my point of view.

It's not for all users. For example, If you just share your site with friends, they will immediately has your setting If It's setted in docker volume.It's not a goodway

But if that's what it is intended for, wouldn't a user administration be best?

Don't get me wrong. I think Lobe-Chat is really great also because it supports GPT4-Turbo which many open source UI's don't do so far. But for me, using it on 5-6 different clients, the way settings are saved is a bit frustrating.

Yes, it would be. I want to try lobe-chat but if this isn't possible to store i think i'll stick with open-webui

you can try the lobe-chat-database now. It support database persistence
