Anyway to automate/cron "Docker Safe Permissions"?


Recommended Posts

Basically the title. I often use Windows to manage the files on a few of my folders, but if they were made/touched by the unraid system then windows doesn't have permission to move/delete them. Is there anyway to automate the docker safe permissions tool to run every x hours?

 

Thanks!

This solution is a sort of surrender, the real answer is to determine which process is munging the permissions and fix the permission options in that process. Pretty much all of the docker containers I am aware of have ways to specify what permissions the files they touch should be left with.

100% true, but sometimes it's just plain easier and less aggravating.

 

My /downloads sometimes gets left-over files in it that the client for whatever reason decided to not adjust the permissions on appropriately.  I just have newperms running against that share hourly as the 2 seconds to do the script was easier than yelling at the computer and spending the time to figure out why it only happened once in a while.  If I ever get bored, then I'll re-approach the problem, but for now, I just can't be bothered.

User scripts plugin

Script would be

newperms /mnt/user/nameOfShare

Hey Squid - when trying to run this script in the User Scripts plugin, I get the error "newperms: command not found"

 

Any thoughts?

But, usually its not necessary to run this on a schedule, unless you've got a container misconfigured and writing the wrong permissions

Thanks that worked. Ok I will check my container configurations to see what could be wrong.
