I feel like I hate permissions on linux. Even though I know how important they are. It seems they should be super easy to understand… Is “user” able to access, if so. What are they able to do with the access. Etc Etc. But for some reason, I always have issues with them. For things like radarr, sonarr etc etc. I feel like I make one step forward and give them the correct permissions but then the process fails due to permissions problems lol.

This is just a rant. Am I the only one that had/has troubles with permission when just learning linux?

In the end I finally figured it out, which is a huge win for me. But I just feel like I shouldn’t struggle with this as much as I do. Are they really this difficult to understand and implement? Let me know if anybody has any tips with how they learned things like this. I’d love to know that I am not alone in this lol. It makes me feel ignorant when I think I’ve set something up correctly and I haven’t.

I guess the title is wrong. It’s not “I hate ubuntu permissions”. Its " I hate that I am a slow learner" lol

    Does anyone have any simple recommendations on permissions for directories related to docker?

    My structure is something like:

    /home/user/docker/jellyfin/
    /home/user/docker/qbittorrent/

    For docker containers

    And then /media/TV etc. What kind of permissions should I be giving these directory structures? I’m usually just lazy and give it all 775 or 777 despite knowing that this is awful.
