Hi, yes it is possible. Although, in order to keep it persistent between container recreates, browser data must be mounted as a volume.

EDIT: However, also preferences might need to be updated.

"BrowserSignin": 0,

how to make is persistent? and is this solution good for the neko-rooms that mounted in the new room window?

[m1k1o]

You can mount volume to this folder inside container /home/neko/.config/google-chrome. Although, as i mentioned, preferences would, there would need to be adjusted. I am not sure right now, what everything needs to be changed (allowing cookies, allowing gistory etc.) but you can, again, mount custom policy file to /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/policies.json.

Yes, also neko-rooms supports volumes. Private mount would be best fit for your browser data and template mount would be good for preferences file. I have this on my roadmap in neko-rooms to allow having persistent rooms. First step - mounts - is already done. Just some frontendwork is missing, to make the UX better.

how to make it possible on neko-rooms? only link the volume to your path?(etc/opt/...) and then is all done?

[m1k1o]

Yes, you only need to mount volume that you want to keep persistent. Explained in your other issue here: m1k1o/neko-rooms#22

I am trying to make logins persistent after container restart and I have /home/neko/.config/vivaldi/ and policies.json mounted on host and in policies.json I have these lines
"DefaultCookiesSetting": 1, "BrowserSignin": 1, "RestoreOnStartup": 1
but on every restart I lose logins.

Can you check if path is mounted correctly for policies at /etc/opt/vivaldi/policies/managed/policies.json, that it contains valid JSON (so no mistake has been made, like leaving , at the end of array). Also can you check in settings if thats allowed, because default preferences as well deny it.

When I open file:///etc/opt/vivaldi/policies/managed/policies.json in neko browser, the .json is there and no trailing comma. In the settings, cookies are set on session only and there are some saved cookies from sites, that logged off.
