Hi,

 

I accidentally started the "New Permissions" tool on my Appdata share. I noticed the error after 2-3 minutes and then aborted. Have I messed something up? Can I check whether it has already changed anything or was still in the initialization phase? I have now started all the Dockers...they start and stay "on". Any more tips?

 

Thanks and happy new year =)

 

If needed, i have the diagnostics downloaded.

The only way to find out if you have changed permissions to values a container does not like is when that container starts reporting permission errors.   There is no way to know what are the ‘right’ permissions are for a given container as they are controlled by the container itself.

Where can I easy check for permission errors?

In Unraid, the log files are in   /var/log 

 

For each Docker container, start a console (an option in the dropdown menu accessed by left-clicking on the Docker's icon)  and look for that directory in the container file structure.  Typical command:

ls -al /var/log

 

That is an output from one docker. Would there be a big ERROR somewhere, or so?

 

 

EDIT: Checked all docker...nowhere an ERROR or something...but for Notifiarr i cant open the console...it closes the console directly. But i can enter WebGUI of Notifiarr, no problem

Each listing that begins with    -rw    is a file and they are in English.  The Linux/UNIX command   cat  will list the contents of each file. 

cat /var/log/docker.log

 

Any of these files can be open in a Linux text editor

 

 

vi  and nano are two such editors that are a part of Unraid.  (Not sure what editors are available in Docker Containers. 

 

But I would not be that worried at this point about the permissions being wrong.  Most of the time, the Docker won't work (or work correctly) if the permissions are wrong and the failure will be be obvious.  (The permission errors are usually for the configuration files that the container app needs to run.)   For example, in the case shown, if the user  'root' is always accessing these files, even if the user is changed,  root will still have access to them!  The new permissions will change the permissions to rw-rw-rw- which is less restrictive than the current permissions. 

ok, so if everything starts up and is running correctly, i might had luck? That sounds good =)

 

Thank you Sir
