Permission denied for mkdir about send

[timvisee]

This likely happens because the container uses a special user (to prevent running as root). Because of this, I don't think the container user has permission to the directory.

Would you mind to temporarily change the directory permission to 777, to test whether the error still comes up when everyone is allowed?

chmod -R 777 /mnt/hdd/ffsend

Note that this permission setting is considered insecure, and is just used for testing purposes here.

Yes, changed permissions:

and recreated docker. Same error

Took another look at your command. It looks like you're missing a mount argument for the container.

-e 'FILE_DIR=/mnt/hdd/ffsend/' just tells Send in the container where to place files (from within the container context), this doesn't actually expose the specified directory from your host inside the container.

You likely have to add -v /mnt/hdd/ffsend:/mnt/hdd/ffsend to your command in order to mount the directory from the host system into the container. Note that you can specify a different path inside the container, such as /uploads if you so desire.

Oh, that was really stupid mistake I made. I really forgot to mount volume, my fault, sorry.

sudo docker create --name send \
  -e 'NODE_ENV=production' \

  -p 127.0.0.1:1234:1443 \

  -e 'PORT=1443:1443' \
  -e 'REDIS_HOST=1.2.3.4' \
  -e 'BASE_URL=https://url.com' \
  
  -v /mnt/hdd/ffsend:/mnt/hdd/ffsend \
  
  -e 'FILE_DIR=/mnt/hdd/send_data' \
  -e 'MAX_FILE_SIZE=10737420000' \
  -e 'MAX_EXPIRE_SECONDS=604800' \
  registry.gitlab.com/timvisee/send:latest && sudo docker start send

seems to work. Thanks!
