✅ Have you read and understood the above guidelines?

yes

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

update

📂 What was the exact command used to execute the script?

update

⚙️ What settings are you using?

  • Default Settings
  • Advanced Settings

🖥️ Which Linux distribution are you using?

Debian 12

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

The script fails when /opt/paperless/media is a mounted image. In this case inside media exists a directory lost+found and the script files during find and cp -r (backup) with permission denied error.
To have media as an seperate image is, in my opinion, not unusual.

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

run the update when media is mounted image

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

find: '/opt/paperless/media/lost+found': Permission denied

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

To solve the problem I downloaded the script used in the update command and replaced this find line:

cp -r /opt/paperless/media /opt/paperless/backup/
with this:
(cd /opt/paperless/media && find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 ! -name lost+found -exec cp -r {} /opt/paperless/backup/ \;)
and the find with this:
find /opt/paperless -path /opt/paperless/media/lost+found -prune -o -name "__pycache__" -type d -exec rm -rf {} +

I have been using paperless for 2 years, even with mounted folders, and have never heard of such an error.

It's also not a script error per se, rather a customization at most. However, the code is highly unintuitive

rsync is the correct way, but only for 1 people an extra dep?

Create an media folder before update and try again

Did that, update went through but everything crashed; Currently restoring from backup and re-running again.

This is a pretty old container setup with one of tteck's scripts.
I'll post my log after the backup finishes

After Backup restored, create the folder before update.
