Hi all,
New to Proxmox (about a month). After an update my Docmost container (from the helper script) has stopped allowing insert of images. I just get a box appear with no details (empty).

I have checked the folder permissions (root:root). Ive looked in journalctl and the var logs folder but found nothing of help.

Can someone please help me tackle this issue. I
Thanks in advance
 
Did you try update it again? Maybe there was a bug. I'd also try clear cookies or a different browser and see if that changes. Hope this helps
 
Hi thanks for the quick reply. I will try updating again. I have tried different browsers and still get the same issue. No errors just an error box.

I also ran up new instance and it works fine. The folders seem to have permissions for root on the new instance.

Do you know where I can see the error logs for the lxc?

Thanks
 
LXC containers share the same kernel as the host system (proxmox) so it will be hard finding your specific logs. I could be wrong as ive never checked lxc logs, either way i don't think its the lxc container issue it is likely to be an issue with Docmost. You said you installed it from a helper script so i would go check if they have any troubleshooting advice. One thing you could also do is to check it with systemctl and see if you can pull anything from the service using it.
 
Ok. I'll do some investigation. I would just rebuild the container but I dont want to lose all the data. Ironically its the documentation on setting up proxmox etc that I've created.
 
Hi again, so I couldnt see anything from systemctl. To be honest i dont really know what to look for. What is odd, I restored a backups from my PBS server from 2 weeks ago and it has the same issue. Unfortunately my backups dont go back to a previous version.
 
I liked the simple nature of LXC containers, being able to spin up a refined service. However, going forward am I going to fair better with services setup a different way. Docker looks like a common used way to go about it, however, it seems unnecessary to have a container, running a container, running the service. And aside from the arr stack when i finish setting it up, i want to keep separate concerns, separate.
 
I rarely use helper scripts as i don't really know much about them. I try stick to docker where i know whats going on a lot more and how to control it. I'd also recommend you send over some screen shots so we can try at least give a crack at solving it before you try rebuilding it. It could literally just be a permission issue. I've had a quick look at it and id recommend checking if your user user has full access.

I run docker in more than 2 containers, also for arrs and my NVR. Docker is a good tool and i highly recommend it. With the arrs id recommend them running in the same lxc and docker as you may encounter permission issues otherwise.

Hi again, so ill attach some screenshots as suggested. This is the error box when I try to insert an image in Docmost. The image flashes on the screen then disappears and this appears briefly at the bottom of the page.

There is no such user as 'user', I suspect as mentioned it runs at root. looking at a working example and the folder permissions.

These are the current permissions on the storage folder, which is the root of where images are stored.

Here is a link to your issue i'd check it out:
https://github.com/docmost/docmost/issues/234
The problem is what ever user you're using on docmost doesn't have the right permissions. I don't personally use docmost but if i were you i'd first look around in docmost in the user section and try configure the user to have full permission if that is possible. We can rule out all other possibilities as we know that it is a permission issue. Also check if docmost has its own user or group if so you will have to chown it to docmost not root(do this part in the terminal). Hope this helps
