Describe the Scenario

I am currently inspecting the filesystem permissions on my docker installation.
I am clear about the instructions here: https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/filesystem-permissions/, but they conver only a part of the folders created by docker.
Could you advise me on the filesystem permissions I need to set on the other folders created by docker?

Hi @ap2de,
With a solution like a docker container the permission requirements can often be handled differently.
If I remember correctly, I believe the linuxserver container manages its own permissions.
The "User / Group Identifiers" part of the linuxserver docker readme has some extra info on permissions.

Hi @ssddanbrown,
thank you for the hint, I overlook that information :-(.
