When I create a file or folder on one device, syncthing syncs it to my other device. on the other device the file owner is now the user that I run syncthing docker with, in my case “root”. but that´s not the problem, even if I have access to the folder with the new files with my user “chris”, the new file owned by root has permissions for “group” and “other” readonly and not readwrite, so ONLY root can read/write access the file and no other user can access it.
I have to set permissions for group and other for every synced file manually. what did I do wrong?
systems are Unraid with syncthing docker linuxserver 2.1 and synology with syncthing docker linuxserve 2.0
Go to the Folder, click Edit and then the Advanced tab. I would suggest that you uncheck Sync Ownership and Send Ownership. Consider also checking Ignore Permissions.
So I made the suggested changes and then worked on 2nd location, created a folder where I put some pics in, syncthing copied folder and photos to my 1st location, folder owner is “root” as my syncthing docker runs as root, but all other users like my user “chris” dont have write access to that folder or the files. so I cant delete them or save new files into that folder. I first have to go to unraid and manually change the rights for that folder.
I only have 2 users and only use syncthing in my home office and remote location (connected via vpn). to be honest, I dont need that rights structure, everybody should access everything. can I get rig of this right thing? it only causes problems and brings no benefits for my usecase.
