TCP ports and how to persist data @ Docker

[snakuzzo]

I'm running OTBR on Docker.

Is it possible to specify:

• Every TCP port used. On doc there is just TCP port related to the webgui but, for example, for some integrations we need also 8081 (used by OTBR for websocket protocol). Are there any other used TCP ports?
• If I destroy my container I lose every configuration about thread network. What are directories to bind to make data persistent ?

Thank you

can't believe this google project is so badly mantained and documented.

It's just the two ports you identified - one for the REST API and another for the web UI.

The current OTBR Docker image is meant for development, not production, and does not save state.

You can make /var/lib/thread a Docker volume. More here: https://github.com/orgs/openthread/discussions/10311#discussioncomment-9754171

I would do it, if I were able.
So, as a simple user, I feel uncomfortable with so little support.
