heh. looks like 8.3.6 fixed it, but doesn't seem to be explcitly called out in the release notes.

regarding file system - I'm more curious why some paths (like /data/projects) _aren't_ in the image. I feel like I may have answered that question myself at some point when poking around in `docker-entrypoint.sh`, but `maybe_seed_data_volume()` doesn't seem to be the culprit after another quick look

([I can't mount two named volumes separately to data/config and data/projects](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/guide-for-version-control-with-ignition/84004/56))

also FYI the 8.3 "Warning" blurb has changed since 8.3 - it now points to the 8.1 upgrade guide

8.3:  
_ **WARNING:** If you are upgrading to Ignition 8.3, you must read the upgrade guide first before installing Ignition 8.3. Visit the following URL for more information before installing: [Ignition 8.1 to 8.3 Upgrade Guide](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/getting-started/installing-and-upgrading/ignition-8-upgrade-guide/81to83-upgrade-guide/)_

8.4+:  
_ **WARNING:** If you are upgrading to Ignition 8 from any previous version of Ignition you must read the upgrade guide first before installing Ignition 8. Visit the following URL for more information before installing: [Ignition 8 Upgrade Guide](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Ignition+8+Upgrade+Guide)_
