I have my Emby docker set up on an appdata folder that I have created on an Unassigned Device.  The problem is that I cannot make changes or delete files from within Windows Explorer over SMB.  I also cannot delete files from the Krusader docker.

 

The only way I can make modifications to any file in the config directory of the emby docker is to ssh into the server and run midnight commander through CLI.

 

I don't think that docker safe permissions will help since the file I'm trying to gain access to is in a docker directory.  How can I regain access to the config directory from within Windows Explorer?

 

Thanks.

chmod -R 0777 /mnt/disks/pathToEmby

 

But, big caveat is that by changing the permissions to something you can utilize over SMB you may impact the ability of Emby to operate as it may check for and expect certain permissions.  This is why docker safe new perms doesn't touch anything in appdata.  Whether or not emby will actually have problems or not is not something I can answer

Is there any way to go back to old permissions if I start having issues with Emby?

Not really without starting the appdata over again.

 

You safe route is to only change the permissions on the file you actually need

 

chmod 0777 /path/to/file
