Issues with Docker Permissions.

[negativzeroe 80]

So I began to notice that subtitles were not being downloaded to the media directory as set in emby server. So I investigated and noticed that the user/group nobody/nogroup had a uid/pid of like 65532 or something so I went in and changed it to 1000 like my passed docker uid/pid. But for some reason it's still showing access denied in the logs, pulled latest image, restarted, chmod 775, nothing. Relevant info attached.

EDIT, adding screenshot showing user emby on host is in group with gid 1000.

Hi, have you checked out this guide to file permissions?

https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/32218-file-permissions-guide-for-new-linux-users/

hang on, how have you set up your volumes?  what does your docker run command look like?  you shouldn't even have to check permissions inside the container, permissions will be inherited from the uids you set in your run command.  Check the actual volume permissions outside the container.

docker run \
    --name emby \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    --net=local \
    -e PUID=1000 \
    -e PGID=1000 \
    -e TZ=America/Chicago \
    -p 8096:8096 \
    -p 8920:8920 \
    -v /home/administrator/apps/emby:/config \
    -v /mnt/media/tvshows:/tvshows \
    -v /mnt/media/movies:/movies \
    -v /mnt/media/music:/music \
    -v /mnt/media/.photos:/photos \
    -v /mnt/media/nuggets:/nuggets \
    -v /mnt/media/.adult:/adult \
    -v /home/administrator/apps/nextcloud:/nextcloud \
    -v /mnt:/mnt \
    -v /home/administrator/apps/letsencrypt/keys/letsencrypt:/ssl \
    -d emby/embyserver:latest

 

My volumes are mounted on local drives. My UID for my admin user is 1000.

When I ran docker exec -it emby ls -l , I saw that home was set to nobody:nogroup and that my volumes were 1000:1000. Running docker exec -it emby cat /etc/passwd and group showed that the user nobody was not that uid so I changed it. Based on that logic, the container user's permissions should reflect 1000 which is my host admin.

ok, but what are your permissions on the folders outside of the container?  ls -l and paste here

that's truly bizarre.  and this just started happening, or you just now noticed it happening?

[negativzeroe 80]

I just noticed it, when my wife said the subtitles were off I saw the path. I know it has before but am unsure of when the change took place.

[mastrmind11 722]

have you tried to remove the container and spin another one up?

[negativzeroe 80]

Yup. Removed the image too. Also just noticed that I cannot delete a movie either.

And you're using the official docker?  https://hub.docker.com/r/emby/embyserver

Your run command looks like you're using https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/emby instead

 

Not sure if it matters, but I've got no issues running official emby

It's mostly the same syntax but it is official emby. I'll try rewriting it tonight and test.

 

Edit, yeah so I changed PUID and PGID to UID and GID and added GIDLIST and it works now. Mah bahd.
