Hello guys!

 

So I've been installing some Dockers for a few days now. I've installed CouchPotato and Transmission and configured them to automatically download stuff. Here's the directory structure:

 

- Disk1

    --> Downloads (this is where files get downloaded)

    --> Movies (downloads from the folder up then get cleaned and stored here)

          -----> Example Movie 01 (from my movie collections) Folder is drwxrwxrwx, owner ideaman924

                  -------> Example Movie File 01.mp4 Folder is drw-rw-rw-, owner ideaman924

 

 

And then when CouchPotato and Transmission downloads files..

 

 

- Disk1

    --> Downloads (this is where files get downloaded)

    --> Movies (downloads from the folder up then get cleaned and stored here)

          -----> Example Movie 01 (from my movie collections) Folder is drwxrwxrwx, owner ideaman924

                  -------> Example Movie File 01.mp4 File is drw-rw-rw-, owner ideaman924

          -----> Example Movie 02 (from CouchPotato) Folder is drwxr-xr-x, owner nobody

                  -------> Example Movie File 02.mp4 File is drwxr-xr-x, owner nobody

 

Since the files belong to nobody, I can't edit them or delete stuff inside the folders, or even delete the folders. I can only read.

 

 

So how can I set up CouchPotato and Transmission to set permissions correctly? I'm using the builds from linuxserver.io

(the permissions must be drwxrwxrwx for the folders, and drw-rw-rw- for the files inside.

  and the owner must be ideaman924, which is the server admin (me))

 

 

The owner / group can be basically anyone so long as the permissions are 0xXX6 (or 7)  (Standard permissions for written files are nobody:users 0777

 

Couch is easy.  Under general settings change the folder and file permissions to be 0777

 

Not sure how you do it in transmission.

 

 

Thanks, but is 777 safe? And does it apply to folders only, or files as well?

 

Just in case. It seems like it gives execute permissions as well.

 

EDIT: Sorry. I've just seen the settings and there is an option for files too. Thank you!

 

Now waiting patiently for anybody with expertise with Transmission.....

Doesn't particularly matter.  But if you're worried use 0666 (and hope your server doesn't get possessed  )

Thank you!!! Now waiting for Transmission settings...
