Volume owners are different

[strawberry-choco]

The owners of the volumes for lidarr are different.

Expected Behavior

• config: owner is me (uid: 1000, gid: 1000)
• music: owner is me (uid: 1000, gid: 1000)
• downloads: owner is me (uid: 1000, gid: 1000)

Adding downloads or music as root folder inside lidarr should work.

Current Behavior

• config: owner is me (uid: 1000, gid: 1000)
• music: owner is root (uid: 0, gid: 0)
• downloads: owner is root (uid: 0, gid: 0)

Adding downloads or music as root folder inside lidarr does not work.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use the yaml file below or the docker compose file from this repo.
2. The volumes should not exist at time of starting the container, so they will be automatically created.
3. After the container started, check who the owner of the volumes are with ls -l. It should match the current behavior described above.
4. Navigate to the web interface of lidarr.
5. Open the browser devtools (F12).
6. Under Settings -> Media Management -> add root folder you cannot select downloads or music as root folder.
7. In the network tab of the devtools, the returned error message from lidarr is Folder is not writable by user abc.
   

Environment

OS: Raspbian Buster Lite
CPU architecture: arm64. It is a Pi4.
How docker service was installed: sudo apt install docker

Command used to create docker container (run/create/compose/screenshot)

I used the ansible docker_container module to create and run the container, which is basically the same as a docker compose file with differnet syntax and some more options on top.

- name: start lidarr
  docker_container:
    name: lidarr
    image: linuxserver/lidarr:0.7.1.1381-ls44
    env:
      PUID: "1000"
      PGID: "1000"
      TZ: "Europe/Vienna"
    volumes:
      - /mnt/data2/lidarr/config:/config
      - /mnt/data2/lidarr/music:/music
      - /mnt/data2/lidarr/downloads:/downloads
    published_ports:
      - "51050:8686"
    state: started
    restart_policy: unless-stopped

What are the permission of the host folders for the music and download mounts?
Your user (1000) need to have permission to write to them.

From your screenshot it looks like you try to set the root folder to /home/ and that would not work.

You should install docker as advised on docker.com and not use the OS repository for this. We have seen a lot of issues from using the OS repository.

Please post ls -l for the folders on the host.

ls -l:

total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 pi   pi   4096 Dec 26 13:54 config
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 26 13:54 downloads
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 26 13:54 music

Yes, changing the permissions or the owner fixed the issue, but that can be the default.

Sorry about that. I tried many different things there and took the wrong screenshot. I have updated it.

Good to know. If you cannot reproduce this, then please close this issue. :)

You have to set the permissions on the music and download folders on host to match the user ID you set in the PUID and PGID. That was the problem.
We can't change the permissions on the host system.
Closing this as the issue is resolved.
