Cannot change permissions

[Meya]

Hello,

I'm following this guide to install Nextcloud but when I get to the part where I need to change the permissions in each dataset, I get this error:

This is the output of the Nextcloud dataset for permissions:

I don't really understand what is the issue, the error is not really descriptive so I don't know where to look or what to change. Any thoughts?

Are you sure the dataset path is correct ?
The jail datasets are usually .../iocage/jails/jailname/root/ then folders.

Let me delete the jail and try again then. Thanks for the input.

I tried again but it won't let me change permissions.

I've been testing trying to change permissions with a temp jail (with no data in it, just plain) and I get the same error. I don't understand what the issue is here.

It's not possible to change permissions for anything in the iocage tree. What you should do is to mount another dataset outside that tree into the jail. You'll be able to change permissions on the external dataset.

That's strange because :
/mnt/vol1/iocage/jails/urbackup/root/var/urbackup in my jail is set to user:891, group:891 (urbackup)
Nothing is mounted in that path ?

I see. Then by creating fstab I should be able to change the permissions?

I think it is because you are trying to change the permissions of a dataset in the iocage tree rather than a folder.....

I tried deleting the jail to start fresh and I get this error:

What command did you use ?

What command did you use ?

I tried deleting it from the GUI first and then from the command line using

Code:

> iocage destroy nextcloud

but got the same result. I'm trying to change permissions because I was following the guide from the link I posted in my OP.
