Issue backing up wp-content

[AdamJSoftware]

I am running wordpress inside a bitnami container. It seems that XCloner doesn't recognise wp-content (doesn't even show in the section where you can choose which folders to ignore). My guess is that bitnami uses a symbolic link to connect the wp-content folder and this confuses xcloner. Is this something that can be fixed?

Can confirm,
The lib used to read the filesystem doesn't support symlinks.

The plugin cannot backup bitnami's wp-content folder & wp-config.php file...

Local fs adapter initialization:
https://github.com/watchfulli/XCloner-Wordpress/blob/master/xcloner-backup-and-restore/lib/Xcloner_Filesystem.php#L84

Local fs adapter code:
https://github.com/thephpleague/flysystem/blob/3.x/src/Local/LocalFilesystemAdapter.php#L52-L60 - symlink handling flags
https://github.com/thephpleague/flysystem/blob/3.x/src/Local/LocalFilesystemAdapter.php#L217-L222 - symlink handling (skip or throw)

Symlink support has been denied:
thephpleague/flysystem#599

So either create a new local adapter supporting symlinks, or maybe allow to include other arbitrary folders (in that case /bitnami/wordpress/... alongside the wp root directory /opt/bitnami/wordpress/) ?

I managed to work around it using this command inside the container:
wp option add xcloner_start_path '/bitnami/wordpress'

Then I deactivated/activated the plugin and now it sees the mounted volume instead of wordpress root
(which shouldn't need backup anyway as it's in the container's image)
