You store data in a json file? That's so based I used to do that
Althouh I'd recommend just using a database, it's much easier that way. If you have to use a json file though then store it within a volume , that way the data will persist between deployments
Anyway, what doesn't work about it?
So it stores it in the volume but I think the bot.py can't modify the json files so when we restart it rollbacks

If there was a permission issue regarding writing to the file then I'm sure python would've wrote an error
are you sure you have the volume mounted on the correct location?
if your app stores the json file in /data then you might have to mount the volume to /app/data

(assuming you're using nixpacks)
WORD_DATA_FILE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "word_data.json")
BALANCE_DATA_FILE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "bankbalance.json")
ATTENDANCE_DATA_FILE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "attendance.json")
HISTORY_DATA_FILE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "history.json")2 years ago
what's your current volume mount path?

a volume is for saving any files

fragly has previously covered that question
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath("/data"))
WORD_DATA_FILE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "word_data.json")
BALANCE_DATA_FILE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "bankbalance.json")
ATTENDANCE_DATA_FILE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "attendance.json")
HISTORY_DATA_FILE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "history.json")

you would want to add logging to print those paths to make sure they are correct
