docker user without delete permission - updates not working
🗄️
Server
Hi
,
I am very affraid of that issue
:
https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/20031#comment-composer-heading
It is not yet fixed
, and now I fear everytime I move a file or do whatever that it bugs immich somehow and delete my photos
.
So I setup an
"immich
" user for my docker containers as in the FAQ
(
https://docs.immich.app/FAQ/#how-can-i-run-immich-as-a-non-root-user
)
. This user has all read and write rights except to delete files and folders
(possible thanks to Synology DSM
)
It works
, but now I can
't modify any metadata as it uses temporary XMP files
, they get renamed at some point and this acts like a create
/delete in the system
.
What can I do
? Am I the only one who
'd like to lock immich a bit to avoid losing data
?
