Summary

Hi
I am having issue with mounting the servers.json file. Docker is creating the servers.json as a directory instead of a file. I am using absolute path for it but still getting error. Not sure how to resolve this...

Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type

That volume is designed for you to provide servers to shlink-web-client, not the other way around.
