Hello everyone,

I setup a LX CT running Ubuntu and installed Transmission on it.

It's working fine and I can access the server, it's just that I tried to mount my 2nd SSD to be able to download on it but it looks like I'm missing permissions

i've read that i might need to run some command like "chown" but i'm totally lost and i'm very novice in all of this

Can you please advise what should I do ?

Thanks
 
1. What Filesystem is on your external Disk, past output of mount on the host
2. What is the uid of the user which is running transmission?

It is formatted as ext4 if that was your question ?

And for the uid of the user I have no idea, how can I check that ?
 
Create a file with the same user and use stat
ubu@t431:~$ stat datei Datei: datei Größe: 0 Blöcke: 2 EA Block: 131072 Normale leere Datei Gerät: 0/39 Inode: 210004 Verknüpfungen: 1 Zugriff: (0664/-rw-rw-r--) Uid: ( 1000/ ubu) Gid: ( 1000/ ubu) <--- Uid Zugriff: 2023-06-03 23:59:17.459730026 +0200 Modifiziert: 2023-06-03 23:59:17.459730026 +0200 Geändert: 2023-06-03 23:59:17.459730026 +0200 Geburt: 2023-06-03 23:59:17.459730026 +0200

In a unprivileged container the uids are +100000 to the host so on the host setup the folder so that your user in the container
(i assume uid 1000 inside the container, so 101000 on the host)
can write to it:

On the host:

sudo apt install acl

sudo setfacl -m u:101000:rwx /mnt/pve/plexmedia sudo setfacl -m d:u:101000:rwx /mnt/pve/plexmedia
 
you have to set the acl on the Proxmox HOST
Sorry, when you say the HOST are you talking about the one I highlihted in red ?

I'm getting an error

EDIT : I removed the sudo at beginning and it seems to work now but i'm still getting the permission denied. Should I do something more ?
