Comment on Radarr: Path: Folder '/data/' is not writable by user 'abc'

There are a few ways around it. The simplest is to add the –privileged option.

The more secure method with podman is by specifying a user (ex -u 10001:10001) from your extended subuid:subgid range after your full and proper setup of rootless podman :-)

Then instead of chown you’ll want to use the oddly named podman unshare tool to automatically set the permissions of the host directory. You would then want to start your service with systemctl --user instead of sudo systemctl

Okay so I’ve done these steps (it seems rootless podman have been setup by Rocky automatically):

Get subuid:subgid with /etc/subuid: privatenoob:100000:65536

2.:Changed ExecStart to this: ExecStart=podman run --name=radarr -u 100000:65536 -p 7878:7878 -v radarr-config:/config -v /home/privatenoob/media/storage1/Filmek:/data --restart unless-stopped lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr:latest

3.: podman unshare chown -R 100000:65536 /home/privatenoob/media/storage1/Filmek/

Unfortunately unsharing gave me invalid arguments.

chown: changing ownership of ‘/home/privatenoob/media/storage1/Filmek/’: Invalid argument

I have tried by leaving the -e PUID=1000 parts on but those didn’t work either. Yeah and I’m using systemctl --user.

  Ah! I think I see the confusion.
  
  # /etc/subuid privatenoob:100000:65536
  
  This denotes the range of subuids that are available to your user.
  
  -u 100000:65536
  
  This part specifies two things ([UID]:[GID]) even though it’s the same syntax as the earlier part that specifies one range :)
  
  I suspect what you will want to do is use the following:
  
  # change ownership of the directory to the UID:GID that matches something in your subuid:subgid range, in this case 10000:10000 podman unshare chown -R 100000:10000 /home/privatenoob/media/storage1/Filmek/
  
  Then we can specify that the user in the container can match the user (UID) we specified above:
  
  ExecStart=podman run --name=radarr -u 10000:10000 -p 7878:7878 -v radarr-config:/config -v /home/privatenoob/media/storage1/Filmek:/data --restart unless-stopped lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr:latest
  
  As a note, if you copy/pasted that ExecStart line, you might have gotten the invalid argument error because you entered 100000 (outside of your subuid range, i.e. >65536) instead of 10000.
  
  There’s a nice guide that gives a great walkthrough. I’ll dig through my bookmarks and add it here when I get some time.
  
  Hope this helps!
