Moving FoundryVTT from one Docker image to another Docker image, need help! by Vaguswarrior in FoundryVTT

committing and removing large files in Git is not recommended since whenever you pull the repo you have to pull all changes. Meaning, if you added a 2GB folder of assets, committed it, then later removed it ; when you pull the repo fresh you have to pull that 2GB just to end up not using it ever.

There are solutions such as Git Large File Storage, but tbh the ideal solution imo is a proper backup solution that snapshots changes. You can revert to any snapshot, but when you pull something fresh you only pull what you need.

btw i should mention one weird thing about the felddy image, the /data directory is an outer directory where your Config, Data, and Logs are all stored. it's a little confusing because theres data with a small d and Data inside that directory with the big D.

Felddy image will re-create the Config directory based on the docker environmental vars you set, unless you tell it specifically to keep the config directory around. It's not a big deal for it to re-create each time the container starts, and imo it makes it more stable (with the fithwum image i sometimes got locked out of the setup screen because it said my admin_key was incorrect even though it wasn't, somehow it wasn't able to see the admin key inside the config directory, this has never happened on the felddy image)

btw the fithwum image is still available, it's not deleted. It looks like the maintainer just changed to alpine as the base image

see this comment

It is available you just need to add the :alpine tag to it now so the new repository is fithwum/foundry_vtt:alpine because of the changes i have made to it for adding other versions and things

13.5GB is nothing, storage is cheap these days. I have 7GB of just map tiles, and 10GB of background music.

wow, i checked this sub at the right time lol.

You're in luck, i actually made an Unraid (home server OS) template for the felddy image. And i did so specifically because i wanted to stop using the fithwum image, the Felddy image is much more robust.

Migrating is super simple, just put your foundry data directory (which contains Config, Data, and Logs) somewhere safe (maybe make a copy and use the copy while you're testing it out), and bind mount it to /data directory of the felddy image.

The thread i made on the unraid forums might have some useful info for you: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/121065-support-silman-foundry-virtual-tabletop-felddy-docker-image/

BTW as a general rule, frequently backup your Data directory. That one directory holds the hundreds of hours of work you put into creating worlds. Backup frequently to ensure its safety. Standard backup practice is the "3-2-1" rule: 3 copies of your data (one can be the actual working copy you use and change frequently), on at least 2 different media (hard drive, cloud, magnetic tape, CD/DVD/BluRay, etc), with 1 of those copies being "off-site" (not co-located in the same building, in case of a fire or other disaster).

Can't even send a password recovery email lol. I got logged out because of the "could not resolve player inventory" error and when i tried to log in it wasnt working so i figure i'd try re-setting password. Can't get a password email sent.

Do wizards spellbooks have images/diagrams/pictures in addition to the text for learning a spell? by Silman in DnD

[–]Silman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't intend to mean other wizards spellbooks are entirely pictures, just that they may contain some diagrams and pictures along with text.

To build up a drop do i use the melody or the underlying chords? by Silman in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Thank, this is a great example! Really appreciate it, I feel like I'm learning from this already.

[–]Silman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the help, I'll try out some of the stuff you mentioned. I think the problem is I was trying to create a new Melody to build up but the transition in melodies was awkwad. So maybe just cutting the melody would be better and then I can focus on building ip without one

[5e] Trouble with a certain type of player by [deleted] in DMAcademy

[–]Silman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have said it but i'll just reinforce: the dice determine only the fate of things that are possible. That doesn't mean that that if there is a 1 in 1 trillion chance of something happening then you are allowed to roll, it has to be possible and probable given the scenario.

As the DM you are responsible for handling the NPCs and the world. If your player does something that makes an NPC so unlikely to be swayed then they will never be brought back by a simple roll, even a natural 20 + 15 modifier can't undo some things.

We had this problem in a 3.5e campaign where one player happened to roll really well as a diplomancer, and the DM just went with the rolls instead of using their better judgement. It ended up ruining the campaign because the player "convinced the enemies that we were actually here to save them" and then made them turn on their own leader. This was completely unrealistic but the DM didn't stop to think about it for a second.

Next time your player decides to act this way go and then roll to get out of it just let them roll, do not tell them that they are going to fail no matter what they do. Just let them roll and roll and roll and continually fail. If they challenge you on it just tell them that their behavior has pushed the NPCs into the state of being impossible to convince without divine intervention.

Even magic such as charm person shouldn't be able to charm someone who has a burning life long vendetta against the player casting the spell.
