Describe the issue

When changing the configuration file nothing is happening, nor logs nor any change on the server.

Describe how to replicate the issue

1. start the server - docker run --rm -it --network=host -v $PWD/mediamtx.yml:/mediamtx.yml bluenviron/mediamtx
   2.update config file

Did you attach the server logs?

no

It does not shown any logs even in debug mode when the file is updated manually

Did you attach a network dump?

no

Hello, yes, when the configuration file is mounted from the host to Docker through -v, the server is unable to detect changes. In a previous issue i wrote that this was a Docker limitation and i recommended to mount the configuration file in a folder, in this way:

docker run --rm -it --network=host -v $PWD/conf:/conf:ro bluenviron/mediamtx /conf/mediamtx.yml

Anyway i'd like to dig further into the bug, so i'm leaving this issue open. If this really can't be fixed, i'll update the README with the solution above.

Hi,

I changed my docker-compose.yml file to:

services:
  mediamtx:
    container_name: mediamtx
    image: bluenviron/mediamtx:latest-ffmpeg
    restart: unless-stopped
    network_mode: "host"
    volumes:
      - $PWD/conf:/conf:ro
    command: /conf/mediamtx.yml

but hot reloading still not works...

The server starts ok, but is not loading new configurations:
