Describe your issue
Hi everyone,
I’m running YunoHost with two external hard drives attached for files, media, and backups.
My files are accessed and modified through several channels:
WebDAV (Nextcloud) and mobile apps
Transmission (torrents)
MiniDLNA
Direct root CLI commands (moves, rsync, etc.)
I’m running into permission issues: whenever I move files around via the command line or rsync, it breaks the access rights for some apps (e.g., Nextcloud or MiniDLNA loses access, or Transmission can’t write).
What is the best and most secure way to manage permissions properly across all these services so they can access their respective folders without breaking each other?
Should I set up standard Linux group permissions (ACLs/chmod), or is a periodic cron job to reset ownership/permissions the recommended approach for YunoHost?
For context:
Nextcloud needs access to everything
MiniDLNA only needs read access to music/media
Transmission needs read/write access to its download folders
Thanks a lot for your help, and have a nice day ![]()
