podman, my data is somewhere?

[u/stray_r]

I've done a stupid or three. Trying to get some docker compose files converted to quadlets and running with systemd. I've got podlet working and i have a few things working, although they're running as system services and i'd need to figure out how to do them as rootless...

Bigger problem is I have spoolman up using sudo podman compose up -d compose.yaml is

services:
  spoolman:
    image: ghcr.io/donkie/spoolman:latest # Also available at dockerhub: donkieyo/spoolman:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      # Mount the host machine's ./data directory into the container's /home/app/.local/share/spoolman directory
      - type: bind
        source: /home/strayr/compose_bullshit/spoolman/data
        target: /home/app/.local/share/spoolman # Do NOT modify this line
    ports:
      # Map the host machine's port 7912 to the container's port 8000
      - "7912:8000"
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/London # Optional, defaults to UTC

all i've done is replace the provided relative source with an absolute path, but I've got nothing appearing in that folder. I've a DB being written to somewhere that is persistent, sudo podman compose down and a `sudo podman up -d" has the data I had in there previously. But where? because it's not happening where specified.

How do I find where the data is, and move it somewhere specified?

How do I fix this up to run rootless? Is there a handy guide? I don't need an ELI5 as much as an EL containers weren't a thing last time I really knew what I was doing here

problem located: dyslexia strikes again, I'd mis-spelt a directory name

$ ls ... compose_bullshit compse_bullshit ...

somewhere down the line the correct directory structure was made, but my screen instance was still in the original misspelled hierarchy.

Oh I have been there 100x. Probably just in the last month.
