SignalK Container Installation - plugin persistent volumes & mqtt plugins?
I have Sk running in a container managed by Portainer. Nice and easy. I want to integrate some sensors via mqtt (e.g. Shelly Plus Uni). Lots of mqtt plugin options for SK. Which to use? My preference would be for mosquito broker in own container.
Concern now is that whilst I have the necessary persistent volumes defined for SK in its container, adding plugins, each will have its own persistent storage requirements, which are likely undocumented. Thus risking potential loss of config or data. Or am I missing something.
Any sage advice appreciated as to wisdom of going down the containerisation route, addressing the data persistence challenge for plugins, and which SK mqtt plugins to use to get data in and out of SK to mqtt based sensors.

Just mount /home/node/.signalk from the host. That will take care of plugin config and data and server settings etc
Not really a challenge
Yes I can do that, thanks.
