All installed extensions are stored in your home directory /config I am not sure what you are referring to here ? Are you just running the container without a mount ?

[murunwas]

Currently, when I update to the latest version, all my custom extensions (mounted at /config/extensions) become disabled. I have to:

Enable Developer Mode

Manually reinstall each extension one by one

This is particularly frustrating as I have 5 custom extensions that need to be re-enabled after every update.

It would be helpful to have either:

A way to automatically enable all custom extensions from /config/extensions by default, OR

A configuration option to persist enabled extensions across updates

Post your docker run / docker compose.

  docker run -it -d \
    --name=chromium \
    -v ./extensions:/config/extensions \
    --security-opt seccomp=unconfined \
    -e PUID=1000 \
    -e PGID=1000 \
    -e CUSTOM_USER=devuser \
    -e PASSWORD=123456 \
    -p "3000:3000" \
    --shm-size="1gb" \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    linuxserver/chromium

Yeah that is not how it works just do
-v ./extensions:/config/ \
You need the whole home directory chromium stuff will actually be in /config/.config/chromium among other places.
