my docker-compose.yml
---
version: "2.1"
services:
transmission:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/transmission
container_name: transmission
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/Bucharest
volumes:
- /mnt/stor/transmission:/config
- /mnt/data:/media/Transmission
- /mnt/data/torrents:/downloads
# - /mnt/faststor/torrents_watch_folder:/watch
# - /root/transmission/watch:/watch
- /mnt/data/torrents/torrents_watched_folder:/watch
ports:
- 9091:9091
- 51413:51413
- 51413:51413/udp
restart: unless-stopped
if I use this line
– /mnt/data/torrents/torrents_watched_folder:/watch
for the watch volume, I get the following error in the container log:
chown: changing ownership of ‘/watch’: Operation not permitted
and the content of the watch folder is not sensed.
if I issue a ls -al I get the following for torrents_watched_folder
drwxrwxr-x 2 1000 1000 4 Aug 26 22:59 torrents_watched_folder
if I use any of the commented lines above, I do not get the chown error for the watch folder and everything works (torrents are sensed and downloaded)
if I issue a ls -al on them I get:
drwxr-x— 2 1000 1000 4096 Aug 26 22:28 watch
So the permissions are more restrictive on the folder that works! and the user and group owners are the same.
One other difference between those 2 folders is that /root/transmission/watch is a local folder
but /mnt/data/torrents/torrents_watched_folder is a directory of a mounted nfs share.
the line for this share in /etc/fstab is the following:
192.168.1.50:/mnt/NasPool/main/Transmission /mnt/data nfs defaults 0 0
the TrueNas storage pool has owner user/group with uid/guid 1000/1000
I am probably missing something, but I don’t realize what… and I need to make transmission work with the nfs watch folder.
Does anyone have any insight about this issue?
Thank you in advance!
PS: in the container log I get also the following errors for the downloads folders (but it still works as expected - using the incomplete and complete subfolders):
chown: changing ownership of ‘/downloads’: Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of ‘/downloads/complete’: Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of ‘/downloads/incomplete’: Operation not permitted
Also if I restart the container, it will start and download the torrents that are found already in the watch folder.
