Permissions issue after FTP transfer - themrturtleman - 2024-12-24
I have a job setup to transfer from my main storage NAS over to my jellyfin server running Alpine Linux over FTP. The issue is when the files get transferred the user account has access to them, but the jellyfin service account does not. I currently have a script that runs 8 hours after the transfer that just 777's all files, but this means that from 1 AM to 9 AM that there is no way to view the content hosted. I tried adding the jellyfin to the transfer accounts group, but it appears to have a great deal of issues reading from said files. The NAS is a asustor nas running on the latest version of their software. Is there any way of getting this to work without needing the script?
I did try NFS and rsync. NFS kept dropping for some reason, and rsync would only create empy directory with a file with the name of the content but no data.

Is the media storage for the jellyfin server local to the app? Or is it accessing the media over SMB or NFS? You mention NFS and rsync so I'm assuming that the media storage is remote relative to Jellyfin.

It's local to the app. What I am wondering now is if setting a password for the jellyfin user account on Alpine will effect the app in any way. I think it would be the easiest to do so I could just have the account that needs read access is the account that transfers the media over.
