Can't create data directory in a smb/cifs server directory

[burddan]

i’m running nextcloud in docker, with /data mounted in a cifs server directory but when i try to create the admin account:

i get ‘‘Cannot create or write into the data directory /data’’, when i give ls -l:

Permissions are for the root user and when i try:
chown abc:users /data
Nothing changes

Yeah, don’t do that…

Same problem here, any solution?

data directory must be owned by the webserver user in docker usually www-data. If you can’t change permission you need to troubleshoot it on the Linux level - nothing to do with Nextcloud itself.

see this post for default permission:

[NC19] How to move user data, without hickups

@gas85, With regards to the rights, i saw this website: They say: chown -R www-data:www-data /mnt/ncdata/ So you can set the premisson like “grouchysysadmin” written. chmod 0750 /mnt/ncdata/ -> ( 7|5|0 mean => user: rwx | group: rx | other: - ) w = write / r=read / x=execute / - = no premissions In your case: chmod 0750 /mnt/ncdata/ maybe you have to set the same premission to every subdirectory. find /mnt/ncdata/ -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0750 And every file in the data folde…

@burddan

with /data mounted in a cifs server directory

I do not know if is possible to to use cifs for primary storage.
If yes i think you must change e.g. /etc/fstab for cifs mount for user e.g. www-data.

Hi i have mounted it in fstab like this:
//192.168.1.220/nextcloudstorage /mnt/nextcloudstorage cifs uid=33,gid=33,dir_mode=0770,file_mode=0770,username=nextcloud,password=xxxxx,iocharset=utf8 0 0

and it is working
