I would hope a `--server-datafolder=/config/duplicati` would persuade it.  
That’s deeper than I would have thought. Are you using a LinuxServer image?  
The image Duplicati supplies puts its databases under `/data`. Useful reading:

[Using Duplicati from Docker](https://docs.duplicati.com/detailed-descriptions/using-duplicati-from-docker) but LSIO did a few things differently in their image.

You might want to `printenv` to see what’s set now. Read your own config too.  
Anyway, Duplicati usually uses $HOME/.config/Duplicati unless overridden by:

> `--server-datafolder: Duplicati needs to store a small database with all settings. Use this option to choose where the settings are stored. This option can also be set with the environment variable DUPLICATI_HOME.`

and I found a dev [post](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/duplicati-stopped-working/20099/2) saying `DUPLICATI__SERVER_DATAFOLDER` variable can move it.  
I think I’ve run the option format, but if it doesn’t, try the environment variable instead.
