May 5, 20179 yr I ran into a problem where I try to edit files that were renamed and placed into a folder using Dolphin or SABnzbd dockers... These files have nobody as the owner: drwxrwxrwx 1 theuser1 users 30 Feb 18 16:12 Out\ of\ Sight/ drwxr-xr-x 1 nobody users 51 Mar 5 22:25 Pan's\ Labyrinth\ (2006)\ 1080p/ drwxrwxrwx 1 theuser1 users 44 Mar 5 22:25 Papillon\ (1973)\ 1080p/ drwxr-xr-x 1 nobody users 53 Apr 16 16:03 Paprika\ (2006)/ drwxrwxrwx 1 theuser2 users 72 Mar 6 00:06 Passengers\ (2016)/ The way I edit these files is by mounting the share where the files are using SMB and logging in as theuser1. However when I try to edit the files owned by nobody I get a permission error. I see that people suggest using New Permissions tool to fix permissions issues, however I am reluctant to do so, as I would like the permissions to remain with theuser1 account rather then set to nobody... How can I prevent dockers from creating files with user nobody, or at least allow write permissions on these files? How can I fix the files that have already been affected by this? Thanks in advance for your time...
May 5, 20179 yr Community Expert I do not think the issue is that the user is 'nobody' (which is the standard default user in unRAID). I think the problem is that the 'write' permission bits are not set. Defining how any specific docker sets permissions is specific to that docker - there is no global solution.
