Description

The docker installation instructions (https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server#use-docker) have a step:

docker cp solid:/usr/src/app/config.json .

However by default this file doesn't exist, I get an error:

Error: No such container:path: solid:/usr/src/app/config.json

I was able to successfully create a config file using solid init and then copy it

perhaps these instructions need to be updated to cover some recent changes to the docker setup?

Research direction

Start with the Docker installation instructions at the linked “use-docker” section and compare the documented docker cp step with the behavior described in the issue. Check how solid init creates the configuration file in the Docker setup. Done means the instructions accurately produce or locate the config file on a fresh installation.
