  Oh file permissions are a nightmare to me, I thought I managed to get it sorted but after i installed lidarr, it alone suddenly can't move files out of the download location anymore. I even tried to chmod 777 the data folders and nothing. I dont think I quite have the grasp on how those work with docker on linux yet, it seems like those arr services also have some internal users too which I dont get why would they.

  Wdym with the formats, is this referring to transcoding? I kept those on defaults afaik

    Could be that lidarr is setting its own permissions for downloaded stuff (look for something like dmask or fmask in the docker config). You might also need to chmod -R so it hits all sub folders. If you have a file or directory mask option, remember that they’re inverse, so instead of 777, you’d do 000 for rwxrwxrwx.

    In linux user and group names don’t matter. Only the gid and uid matter. Think of user and group names as human names like domains are for IPS.

    In docker when you use mounts, all your contianers that want to share data must agree on the gid and uids.
