Hi,
I’m trying my best to setup Nextcloud on my mediaserver, but I cannot work out the permissions to my data folder.
My setup is as follows: proxmox server openmediavault VM with 8tb disk and nfs shares debian mediaserver with docker compose (including nextcloud docker)
the nfs share is set to 775. I linked it in my debian server through /etc/fstab. I can write to the folder without a problem.
In my docker compose file i linked /mnt/photos:/photos to the nextcloud container. When i login to my container i cannot write files to the folder.
When i change the share to 777, i can write files, but nextcloud setup stops and says my permissions are wide open, so it won’t continue the setup.
I turn it back to other:read/execute and the container cannot write to the folder anymore.
What am i doing wrong?
Try telling Docker its rw explicitly:
It should be rw by default but I can’t see what else could be happening. What account runs docker? What account runs nextcloud inside the container?
That won’t fix it because its a permission issue at the NFS level
how can i check which accounts are used? I think my normal user account sets up docker, with uid & gid = 1000. I don’t think i created an account in the container so probably root.
The official NC docker container uses the “www-data” internally to run the services. This will get important if you ever want to run tasks via “docker compose exec”.
When I run:
docker exec -it nextcloud bashI get:root@nextcloud:/var/www/html#, does this mean it uses www?
