I think I solved the permission issue? See edit in the main post.

Is there a command to check that?

sudo chmod 777 /your/linguacafe/temp/folder -R

I have done that and it doesn’t seem to help. Edited main post to reflect that.

Sorry that’s on me. That’s one thing I removed from the pastebin file on purpose, it’s here in the real one. I copy paste my path to be sure it’s correct.

Thanks a lot! I certainly need to learn about permissions and docker mapped directories in general. This is still very unclear in my head and it prevents me from troubleshooting my own stuff which is frustrating. You’re all very cool but I’d like to not post a lemmy every time an app has wrong permissions haha. I’ll have a read.

Good idea! I tried sync with my other computer and the software complained about not having permissions on the postgres folder. I investigated and found out postgres directory is owned by user:70. I have yet to find where that comes from. I changed it with a sudo chown but it reverts to the wrong owner when I restart the container.

That’s basically what the author of the app told me to do. I’m having wrong permission issues I believe and I haven’t found yet who/what assigns the wrong permission when I start the container.

I tried using tar as you said, and it didn’t work. Which led me to investigate and realize the owner of the postgres folder is unknown to me. Changed it back with CHOWN but it reverts back to the weird owner when I restart the container so I’m missing some knowledge and know-how. I’m trying to figure out who sets that permission in the first place.

I thought so, too. I played around with the tar idea and it led me to discover the permissions are wrong on the original computer. I have added new info on the main post about it but basically the owner is “user:70” and I have no idea where that comes from. I tried using CHOWN to reset everything to my own user, which is the same on both computers (1000:1000 uidguid), but whenever I restart the container, it locks again.

No, it’s on the awesome self hosted list. It’s a great simple recipe manager, shopping list. Nice ui. My wife uses it to meal prep and I’m trying to understand grocy to speed up the process of checking what we need to buy.

Here to ask questions too. Is it necessary to add stuff to etc/hosts for this to work man only? Do I have to do portforwarding on my routeur and to what?

I’ve been trying to achieve exactly that for a week now and none of my attempts load at all.

Is there a resource or YouTube guide explaining all this so I actually know what I’'m doing?
