Precisely. So for example, I would map /mnt/user/Music to /music in the VM. This would grant me read/write access to the audio files. I would then setup a folder separate from the disk pool for MinimServer config files. For example, /mnt/cache/appdata/minim, which would map to /config in the VM. This could host MinimServers database, along with any user settings.

If it is the latter, how does Docker/unRAID synchronize access to the library files (e.g., read-only and/or read-write) from two separate VMs? A similar question would apply to adding files to a libary that is currently being accessed by MinimServer.

In this case, the tagging application would be part of the VM. You may list any packages as dependencies, so you may want MinimServer, a tagging library, ffmpeg etc. All packages have access to the aforementioned /music and /config folders.

As the mounts are external to the VM, they survive reboots.

I could add files to my music library, over afp, smb, nfs whatever, and they appear instantly in the VM. Consider the mapping like a symlink or a mount in linux.
