Minetest access ixVolume (Dataset to change to creative mode

I have installed the minetest app it works with the default storage option only (ixVolume (Dataset created automatically by the system). i would like to change the ( mine test.config ) but i dont know how to access and change it. any info would be appreciated. thanks

i am using truenas 25.10.1

iXVolume are stored in a hidden dataset called .ix-apps. You can access it from the shell

the path should be /mnt/.ix-apps/#

But the changes to the test.config will be reverted when you redeploy the app…

thanks for the info . i cant install mintest with a host path and get it to start .so i could change config that way . i will look to another os .

I don’t see that app in the catalogue, did you install it via docker compose?

it is luanti . with minetest game installed by default

i installed it through truenas apps

As mentioned, i wanted to do a test install, but i don’t see any app called minetest in my catalogue :confused: or did you mean mineos and autocorrect changed it?

Luanti a truenas app

Luanti is agame engine for minetest and others but installs minetest by default

got it running with hostpath, but i believe i found the isse… lunati wants to run as uid 30000 which, as far as i know doesn’t exist in truenas. I had to manually chmod 777 the config and data folders for the app to deploy.

thanks for the info i will try

that worked i am able to access the config file thanks . i did a smb share so i could work on the files minetest.conf is in config folder but nothing shows in the data folder. is there any way to access (/var/lib/minetest/.minetest/games/minetest_game) and make a smb share so i could drop in mod folders

I honestly don’t know. I’m not familiar with that app, i just tried to help getting it running :confused:

You can create the dataset and then:

cd /mnt/mypool/apps-or-whatever
chown 30000 lunati

Names for UIDs are not necessary in Unix. They are convenient for humans but not necessary.
