[Bug] Unable to disable watch and output folders from mounting

[shanelord01]

Current Behavior

I have these disabled in my docker-compose:

-v /home/user/HandBrake/watch:/watch:rw \

-v /home/user/HandBrake/output:/output:rw \

and put AUTOMATED_CONVERSION=0 in my environment

but these directories are still being mounted as non persistent volumes

Expected Behavior

Don't create mounts for them if automated conversion is disabled and they are not required

Steps To Reproduce

comment out the volumes and set AUTOMATED_CONVERSION=0

You will see docker create non persistent volumes for these.

This is a behaviour of Docker: these volumes are created because /watch and /output folders are declared in the Dockerfile. If a mapping is not explicitly set, Docker will use a temporary volume.

Thanks. Is there Any way to make them optional and become disabled if the AUTOMATED_CONVERSION=0 is set?

Not to my knowledge. Volumes creation is not controlled by the container itself.
