Ok @224137748 thanks for the feedback, seems related with this https://verdaccio.org/blog/2021/04/14/verdaccio-5-migration-guide#after-upgrade-i-dont-see-packages-on-the-ui

hi folks, I need more, a list of exact commands you are executing. Which permissions has the folders etc. I also wonder if you are aware of https://verdaccio.org/docs/docker#running-verdaccio-using-docker the notes described there, especially permissions to the volumes are required.

===================================================================================

Sorry, I found that I made a mistake while editing the “config.yaml”, I used the relative path to set storage directory , when I restarted the docker, I got this problem. I should use absolute path.

Finally, thianks for your reply~!
