I can't backup

[welrbraga]

Like as expected, I've manually created the linkace-backup folder with "uid 82" as owner of this folder and the backup started to run fine.

On the first test I've created the folder (without adjust on ownership) but the log was clear (Unable to write = wrong permissions):

error production 2023-04-15 02:00:07 Unable to write file at location: linkace-backup/2023-04-15-02-00-06.zip. {"exception":"[object] (League\Flysystem\UnableToWriteFile(code: 0): Unable to write file at location: linkace-backup/2023-04-15-02-00-06.zip. at /app/vendor/league/flysystem/src/UnableToWriteFile.php:24)

After that, I changed the owner of folder from root to "82" (UID of www-data user inside container) and finally, my backup was concluded with a zip file saving the "/app" folder and a mysql dump.

Thanks for taking the time to write the detailed report. The app should already have that folder writable by default by all users because this issue was reported last year. I'll take a look to check what's the issue.

Will also update the docs to include a hint for the Cron setup.

Hello,
looking at the production Dockerfile I can guess that if you're running LinkAce under a "rootful" Docker installation this is expected: if you don't manually create the ./backup directory the Docker daemon creates it for you even before LinkAce does. As a result the directory's ownership is going to be "root:root" with a non permissive mode, which makes it inaccessible to LinkAce which, I assume, is not running as root.

I'd suggest to either adjust the configuration to put all the volumes in a ./volumes directory created before the containers start and then chmod that directory to the UID:GID LinkAce uses inside the container or (better) adding the user:"$UID:$GID" directive to the service in the compose file. You still have to create the volumes directory in advance and run chmod -R but you'll then be able to manage all the files because they'll be owned by you.

I hope this helps!
