Feel free to propose better descriptions for that page and (potentially for 'SPIFFS File System' as well). We're always eager to improve the docs.

Thanks for the hint. I had forgotten all about that issue and the PR someone submitted. It's now merged and updated. Be sure to run

Code: Select alldocker pull marcelstoer/nodemcu-build

to get the latest version before you proceed.

#53916 Ok on the docs change, I think I've got it as pull request: #1477

Definitely progress - spiffsimg was built in the tools directory.

I needed to make code changes to it's main.c, same as these: https://github.com/DiUS/spiffsimg/pull/1 but against the latest version of the spiffsimg code.

Once I did that the spiffs flash bins were built, but I may not understand the next step. When I flashed the main bin the files did not show up.
Should the files be included in that main bin file? I'm guessing not as the build wouldn't know my flash size. Flashing the 4M bin at the indicated location didn't work.

I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do next, I'm not sure which files I should flash and to where.

BTW, does the docker impl always do a "clean" build? Is there a way to have it just build to save a bit of time?

Thanks for help!
