Permissions

[hackmonker]

Was facing a bit problem regarding the downloads permissions. all the downloaded files seem to be having root:root permissions. any way we can use my user for it? I tried setting puid and guid but it still gives the downloaded files root ownership. is it not possible or am I missing something?

Hello, you should give ownership on these folders to your user. If you let Docker create these directories for you, the root will have the ownership (as user and as group) on these directories. Look at chown command.
And check the uid and gid are correct :)

i was facing the same issue. this works for me.
had to set rights of the _data folder in the generated config volume and the downloads folder to my user along with user:1000:100 on raspberry-os

Thank you for this information, I will add this information in the README to clarify this step.

you can even do it with volumes created by docker or docker-compose.

• it will fail at first start after volume creating because of the root rights in the config volume
• but then i changed the permissions of the _data folder in the created config volume
• restartet the container and it worked like a charm.

For sure, but having a process where a failure is a normal path is not a great idea in my opinion.
So I prefer to explain to users they need to create the folder before.
