Where Does Self-Hosted Tanoshi Store Data?
Tanoshi manga server config, database and plugin paths for self-hosted setups.
Last updated
Tanoshi keeps a small config file pointing at its database and plugins through absolute paths. The original lineage documents a dot folder in home. The successor reads an env driven dir instead.
Docker setups map a host folder onto the container data root. Bare metal originals use the home folder directly. Either way the trio of config, database and plugins moves as a set.
Where Tanoshi stores this, by platform
~/.tanoshi/config.yml
YML config with absolute database_path and plugin_path entries. Original lineage under home dot folder on all desktop OSes. Successor uses an env driven dir with Docker mount. Back up the trio together.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Tanoshi?
Back up config.yml, the database file and the plugins folder together with the app stopped. The YML holds absolute database and plugin paths, so keep those targets stable across moves.
Original or successor paths?
The original documents a home dot folder while the active successor reads an env driven data dir with Docker defaulting to a fixed mount. Check which lineage runs before scripting paths. Both keep config plus DB together.
