IOError with icloudPD

[rendermaster]

I'm using the icloudPD docker container to download my iCloud photo library. It's working but I am getting a lot of IOErrors. I've attached a sample below. I had thought it was maybe HDD speed but I turned on cache on a SSD and I'm still getting the errors, it doesn't appear they are related to file size either, it will download large videos fine, then fail on a basic .jpg or .heic image.

I've got the excat same problem. Did you fix it?

At first I thought it was due to permissions but this doesn't seem to be the case.

 

I've tried the other icloud-docker app and it worked right from the start. But the export there is not as beautiful because everything gets dumped in one folder.

It seems to have resolved itself after running for a few days. I'm getting working syncs now with no errors.

Hi, just tried icloudPD for the first time and had the same issue.
I guess it's because of the user with UID 1000 which is used as Default in the Docker image.

After setting the permissions on my target directory for this user, the error message did not occur again.

I currently have the same problem.

This error is displayed in the log file:

ERROR    IOError while writing file to /home/user/iCloud You might have run out of disk space, or the file might be too large for your OS. Skipping this file...

The strange thing is that the error is displayed but the files were definitely synchronized correctly in the path.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Can you explain what you did here? I tried chmod -R 777 on /home/users/iCloud but it is still producing the same error.
