Dal Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Hi. Getting tired of using nano and vi to configure files inside and outside of containers, I was thinking of using a docker running code-server. Much easier to edit files that way, ensuring the correct intends for example. But when trying to edit files, it throws errors saying I have no write permissions on those files How to best solve this? I was thinking it would be wise to create a new user to maintain all things docker; backups, edit files, running the containers etc? If so, how? Any thoughs? Thanks Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Unraid only has the 'root' user for running administrative tasks so you cannot do what you want. Other users within Unraid are only for controlling access to network shares. It is worth pointing out that the Dynamix File Manager has the ability to edit files although you may need to add entries to /boot/config/editor.cfg to handle file extensions not currently on the list to get them recognized as text files.
