Syncthing Permission Problem

[kulligulli]

Hi am quite new to Unraid (and Linux),

I am trying to Sync my Android Phone to Unraid with Syncthing.

 

By default the Folder Path i.e for Folder "Test" in the Syncthing WebUI is /config/Test. (it works, but I don't even know where to find that folder)

 

I've created a share called AndroidBackup.

So in the Syncthing WebUI I put in the Folder path "/mnt/user/AndroidBackup/Test" (I'm already not really shure if this would be the correct path.)

 

Anyway, I get an error:

2021-02-06 17:37:05: Failed to create folder root directory mkdir /mnt/user: permission denied

2021-02-06 17:37:05: Error on folder "Test" (tqf2q-vpuz2): folder path missing

 

I've tried the "Docker Safe New Perms" but that didn't help.

How can I solve the Permission error (and what would be the correct path)?

You can go directly to the correct support thread for any of your dockers by clicking on its icon and selecting Support.

Ah sorry my bad.

I searched in the forum but didn't find a solution.
In the supported thread I just found what I did wrong.

Thanks

Kulligulli, 

I have the same issue, what did you do to fix this?

 

Thanks

Tbh I can't remember anymore...

Maybe have a look in here, according to my post the solution should be there

 

Maybe my config helps too.

I have no idea if it's "technically" correct, but it's working.

 

Docker Syncthing Config:

Network Type: Bridge

Console Shell command: shell

privileged: off

Host Path2: /mnt/user/AndroidBackup --> AndroidBackup is my created share.

AppData Config Path: /mnt/user/appdata/syncthing

 

Syncthing Webui:

Folderpath: /sync/FullBackup --> "FullBackup" is the folder inside your created share where the actual files are stored

 

No real solution to your question, but I hope I can help anyway.

Thanks!!!

 

I'll play with it more.

had the same error first check the permission of your folder on your unraid share by opening a console and cd into the directory
you can check the permissions with

ls - la

if you have something like drwxr-xr-x simply add the write permission

chmode 777 myFolder/

Thanks @zgo. This solved my issue… my directories were owned by nobody:users, but the permissions were wrong. Any of the folders that were 755 needed to be 777.
