User Permissions - Nextcloud - FreeNAS

[KACMAG]

Hi!
I am trying to set user permissions for dataset, but i don't know what user i am using for nextcloud jail/plugin
How to check it?

I tried user named "www" but it didn't work

I need it becouse my external storage sharing by link don't work properly, like in this thread:

Nextcloud - shared link doesn’t work with external storages - FreeNAS

Hi! I have problem with my nextcloud 17.0.5 on freenas 11.3-u1. I added external storages to nextcloud by mounting point in freenas, and they are work just fine. I can add files and folders to them, i can rename files and folders, i can delete everything what I want (it is working properly)...

Hey Kacmag,

you need to identify the UID your Nextcloud web server is using. It is that one that you need to use for ownership and permissions. Here, mine is running as UID 33 (www-data in the host system). So for that, I had to change ownership for everything to that UID 33. Because my data storage is mapped over NFS between FreeNAS and my docker host, the UID and not the name is what is important. Actually, in Alpine, that UID 33 is already for another user, so ownership looks weird from that host. It decodes UID 33 as being that guy while FreeNAS and Nextcloud named it www-data.

Also, I remember that I had to go in the legacy UI to create that user with a specific UID. I do not know if you can now force the UID (and force it below 1000) from the new WebUI.
