[BUG] Config Folder is not using the correct User or Group owner

[jaseiffert]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

The config folder owner and group owner is set to abc. Not to the PUID and PGID settings.

Expected Behavior

It was setting the owner and group owner to the PUID and PGID from the environment settings.
I checked and 1.40.4.8679-424562606-ls225 is the last release the worked correctly.

Steps To Reproduce

I'm using this in TruNAS Scale 24.04 and loading any version after 1.40.4.8679-424562606-ls225 will cause the problem.

Environment

- OS:Dragonfish-24.04.2
- How docker service was installed: Built into system OS

I did a custom App Install using the linuxserver Plex image.

I'm still having problems getting it to work but the new images totally break it with the abc user and group as owner of the config folder.

CPU architecture

x86-64

Docker creation

How do I add images of the gui to create the container?

Container logs

This is the log when it is started the second time. First time it changed permission on the config folder.

@jaseiffert have you tried setting the config folder to recursively set the the permissions to 0777 that way it doesn’t matter. (Maybe not the best approach for security)

[darthShadow]

From https://docs.linuxserver.io/misc/support-policy/#unsupported-and-known-to-be-broken:

Use of the user directive to run containers as a custom UID/GID

You’re essentially running a known broken configuration by having the "Configure Container User & Group ID" option enabled.

Even the container logs say the same:

You are running this container as a non-root user:
UMASK, custom services, & docker mod functionality will be disabled
and the PUID/PGID environment variables will have no effect.

@darthShadow Thanks a whole lot!! Removing that setting made Plex work and I upgraded to the latest version of the plex docker container and it still works so I have to say that it was my configuration and not the Plex Docker containers after 225 that was the problem. The owner and group owner still show abc but when looking at the id's it's the same that I put in the configuration of 3003 and 3001. Finally after all this time I have a Plex screen to look at and login. Now I just need to get my library folders to show up so I can select them. I see them in the POD Shell but not in the Plex program.

Thanks,

Jeffery
