Hi,
I’m trying my best to setup Nextcloud on my mediaserver, but I cannot work out the permissions to my data folder.
My setup is as follows: proxmox server openmediavault VM with 8tb disk and nfs shares debian mediaserver with docker compose (including nextcloud docker)
the nfs share is set to 775. I linked it in my debian server through /etc/fstab. I can write to the folder without a problem.
In my docker compose file i linked /mnt/photos:/photos to the nextcloud container. When i login to my container i cannot write files to the folder.
When i change the share to 777, i can write files, but nextcloud setup stops and says my permissions are wide open, so it won’t continue the setup.
I turn it back to other:read/execute and the container cannot write to the folder anymore.
What am i doing wrong?

Nextcloud uses the www-data user internally. Id is 33. You should be able to “chown 33 dirname” on the nfs server. That may work?

I want to try that, but i’ve got to add: i want to access this folder from my desktop too. i added it the same way in /etc/fstab and it worked instantly

That’s what group permissions are for. You can add yourself to the www-data group and
chown www-data:www-data. Then you and the container should be able to operate on the contents.
