Xylok server management

📄️ Working with the Container

Xylok is installed by default to /opt/xylok. However, Xylok itself is running inside a container, via Docker or Podman. This introduces complications on working with it via the command line, because the processes inside the container can only access host files and directories that were explicitly mounted when the container was created. The majority of these mounts are in /var/lib/xylok and used to store the database and other data. For files that the user needs to access inside the container, a pass-through directory is mounted. On the host, this directory is at /opt/xylok/passthrough by default. Inside the container, the same files can be accessed at /passthrough.
