newbie - setup syncing, got errors, tried to ignore

Support

I setup a folder for syncing, I immediately saw an error:

error while traversing /home/jason/.local/share/containers/storage/overlay/96a5d265992fd8424175af5d9e9e1518e36a3489c2c8a65d5782689f3c4e89dc/diff/var/cache/apt/archives/partial: permission denied

Since this is ephemeral files associated with containers, I figured it wasn’t something I should backup, so I added this to Ignore Patterns:

/home/jason/.local/share/containers/*

but it still shows errors. What am I doing wrong?

In Syncthing’s ignore patterns, the synced folder is considered the root. If /home/jason is the folder path you put in when adding the folder, for example, then the appropriate ignore pattern is /.local/share/containers/*.
