Comment on Incorrect permissions on my .arr stack
MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 3 months agoNo GUI on my end (It’s been fun learning to use a headless server). I have to sudo to be able to do anything in the mount locations. Using ls -s, the permissions and owner aren’t changing after using chown and chmod.

Okay, so you need to match the uid/gid of your user on the client machine with whatever is on the host volume machine. You probably want a dedicated user.
On Windows machine: create new user, make sure ownership is set in permissions, log in with that user on the client machine. Then you won’t need sudo. You can Google to find more explanation, but that’s the gist.

I’ll look into that, thanks!
We just had a total power outage, and restarting my main machine I remembered I have Linux Mint installed as duel boot. I’ve been waiting for a final push to get me to migrate away from Windows. Would it be easier to do all this from Linux Mint instead of Windows?

It’s certainly more cohesive if you’re doing a Samba<>Samba setup. Either combo will work though, you just need to make sure of the permissions for the share, and that your connected uid/gid is set properly for read/write.
