Default user / group permissions seem to to be set wrong

[JuJuJurassic 49]

 

So I have a brand new server, Ubuntu 20.04, that I've just put Emby on, as I decided to move away from plex

Normally it seem the permission to the media folders are the problems, but I seem to have problems accessing the actual system files.

The media folders are mounted fine, if a little generous as you can see from here

julianh@media:/opt$ ls -l /mnt
total 2688
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root   65536 Jan 30  2021 3d
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 2097152 Nov 11 17:43 films
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root  524288 Oct 12 18:30 music
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root    4096 Nov 12 13:34 tvshows

I had "The configured user limit (9192) on the number of inotify watches has been reached." I  increased it to 24,576 using "echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=24576 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf" then "sudo sysctl -p"

But I'm still having problems, it looks as if the file permissions on the emby server itself are wrong, although I suspect ownership.

julianh@media:/opt$ ls -l

drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 28672 Nov 16 07:16 system
julianh@media:/opt$
 

looks like a couple of typos on the /opt, I'll get to them later  

Any suggestions?

Should I "chown -R emby:emby /opt/emby-server"

Thanks

Julian

HI there @JuJuJurassic , have you taken a look at this?

 

[JuJuJurassic 49]

Hi Luke,

 

Yes I looked through it, but it seems to be concerned with the media directories. I've set the media folders to 777, so there's no access problems I can see there. The fstab is 

//10.1.1.11/tvshows /mnt/tvshows cifs username=****,password=****,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,_netdev 0 0
//10.1.1.12/films /mnt/films cifs username=****,password=****,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,_netdev 0 0
//10.1.1.12/3d /mnt/3d cifs username=****,password=****,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,_netdev 0 0
//10.1.1.13/musicfiles /mnt/music cifs username=****,password=****,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,_netdev 0 0

The windows user on the smb share side has full permissions to the share

The permissions are 

 ls -l /mnt/
total 2688
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root   65536 Jan 30  2021 3d
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 2097152 Nov 11 17:43 films
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root  524288 Oct 12 18:30 music
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root    4096 Nov 12 13:34 tvshows
 

I can create and delete directories on the smb shares as a normal user without any problems, so it shouldn't be permissions in this area anyway.

I found this in the log file interesting

That's what made me think I should change the ownership of the emby-server directory structure to emby:emby

Although the log also shows the initialisation of all the modules, so it's reading okay.

It currently set to;

The first error in the log is a port map, here is this triggering the rest of the errors I'm misinterpreting.

What do you think?

Thanks

Hi Luke,

I decided to rebuild the box from scratch, I downloaded emby this morning, it was version 4.6.4.0, when I downloaded it this time it's 4.6.5.0, and the problem has disappeared.

Instead I'm getting SSL errors, but I'll look into that before I bother anyone.

could you please close the case and thank you for your help

Thanks

Julian

[Luke 42078]

@JuJuJurassic can we please look at the ssl error? Please attach the server log from that. Thanks.

[JuJuJurassic 49]

Hi Luke,

 

Thank you for your help, I've attached the log showing the SSL errors.

I've not set up my emby server with SSL yet, but I can't register my premier key, although I suspect that's due to the fact I also changed my host name from media to emby.

Am I right or are the SSL errors stopping the authorisation of the key?

Thanks

Julian

There seems to be a problem with SSL, here's another post with the problem, it looks more serious than I initially thought

 

[Luke 42078]

Hi, yes we'll be getting a 4.6.6 update out to resolve it. Thanks.

[JuJuJurassic 49]

And that's why I moved from plex

Excellent support

 

As I'm new to emby, is there an easy way to update or do I just run the dpkg -i emby-server-deb_4.6.6.0_amd64.deb, when it's out. Is that today?

Edited November 17, 2021 by JuJuJurassic

[Luke 42078]

4.6.6 is rolling out now. Thanks.

[JuJuJurassic 49]

Thanks Luke

What’s the upgrade procedure, just run it?

[Luke 42078]

Just install over the top.

[JuJuJurassic 49]

Thanks Luke, its installed, the Premier key's working now, and it's scanning the media library I triggered the task. at 88.9 seems to pause there, but there's 8-12,000 video files to scan, I'll leave it a couple of days

 

[Luke 42078]

Yes I imagine that will take time. Thanks for the feedback.
