[Question]: Documentation saved in docker?

Question or Feedback

Since the compose does not have anything specified for volumes, does that mean that a restart will wipe the data you have noted down in it?

Yeah, well none of that data is stored anywhere at all; there's no database or persistant storage beyond localstorage

Would it be possible to add that feature? since without it it would be unreliable as the only place where you document your network (subnet planner) if the data vanishes on restarts.

Yeah, I do see how it would be valuable, and it wouldn't be too hard to implement.

But since most the other tools are ephemeral, and used for quick calculations/conversions/lookups, I think that adding a database would add significant complexity and serve only a small usecase.

It slightly diverges away from my initial goal, of keeping things as simple, lightweight and maintainable as possible. The drawbacks would be that it'd no longer be just a single Docker container with no volume mounts, so slightly more to spin up, and it would add a lot of extra steps to the testing workflow, need security scanning, and make the app heavier, as well as harder to maintain going forwards.

That said, you're welcome to fork the project, and add database support. It shouldn't be too hard, and I'd be happy to help.
