Syncing Linux AppData Folder

[bernhard276]

I am trying to sync the AppData folder on my casaos installation. Only Root has permissions on that folder:

root@CasaOS:/DATA/AppData# ls -l
total 40
drwxrwxrwx 8 casaos casaos 4096 May 24 08:16 2d27f107-5fe5-47cf-898c-1f211a4bf203
drwx------ 6    911    911 4096 Jun 14 09:24 5338bb4b-2151-4180-9f82-6a69dfc3c9d8
drwxrwxrwx 6 root   root   4096 Jun  2 11:11 788fd729-60ea-4009-ac1f-bc26f386282e
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root   4096 May 26 14:43 HomeAssistant
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root   4096 Jun 14 08:30 Jellyfin
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root   4096 Aug  4 15:20 mariadb
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root   4096 Aug  4 15:04 nextcloud
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root   4096 May 24 08:47 qBittorrent
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root   4096 Jun 14 09:29 Syncthing
drwxr-xr-x 3 root   root   4096 Jun 11 06:59 Transmission

How would you allow syncthing to backup that folder?

Kind regards Bernhard

Doesn’t seem to me like a syncthing question, more of a “how to operate things in unix”

Hi Bernhard,

CasaOS is relatively new (< 2 years), so its official documentation still needs a lot of work. But because each app in CasaOS is an individual Docker container, the following documentation should help:

• https://github.com/IceWhaleTech/CasaOS
• https://wiki.casaos.io/
• Docker Container for Syncthing – https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/blob/main/README-Docker.md
• Linux File Permissions and Ownership Explained with Examples – https://linuxhandbook.com/linux-file-permissions/

One thing to note is that CasaOS technically isn’t an OS, in the classic sense.

It’s a web GUI application running on top of Debian Linux (or other compatible Linux distro) that manages Docker containers. S on YouTube and elsewhere, searching for “Linux” and “Docker” topics might be more helpful then searching for “CasaOS”.
