I have had to regularly do "chown -R sshd:sshd <nextcloud-data-folder> because the ownership keeps changing to "nobody" every few days. Once it changes, I can't use Nextcloud until I rerun the chown command and get everything back to sshd. Anything anyone can suggest to stop this from happening?

 

I searched for a solution but didn't find one, please direct me to the correct discussion if this has already been answered. 

 

Thanks for your help...BTW, this is a great community

 

 

to stop it, get rid of Nextcloud AIO.

 

Despite of the Video, it is not working well on UNRAID.

 

If you really want nextcloud, deinstall AIO and install the "normal" ("official") Nextcloud Docker manually.

 

But even then remember that you will run into the same problems again if you dare to run Nextcloud for more than one user.

(your "solution" with sshd is only the top of the iceberg)

 

(The reason is that UNRAID uses only the user "nobody" with permissions 666 for data files. Nextcloud uses seperate users and much more restricted permissions to ensure that files are only accessible by the owning user. This is not possible with Unraid!!!)

 

(BTW, its not AIO that changes the owner to "nobody", you must runnig a scriot like "set docker safe permissions" to do that. Maybe you have turned in on per cron somewhere? Anyway your dat will not be safe with Nextcloud AIO, so better think of getting rid of it)
