Originally created by @wtanksleyjr on GitHub (Mar 8, 2022).

Describe the issue

I found that when using docker-compose with an env of AUDIOBOOKSHELF_UID:AUDIOBOOKSHELF_GID as 1000:1000, although other files are created fine, cover.jpg is created owned by root.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. I edited my docker-compose.yml to add the AUDIOBOOKSHELF_UID=1000 (Ubuntu main user account)
  2. I then logged in as 'root', configured to keep metadata and cover image in the book folder
  3. triggered a Match on a book I'd not matched before.
  4. Check that the metadata.abs file is created correctly, but cover.jpg is owned by root.

Audiobookshelf version

v1.7.2

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

When I manually set the user in the docker-compose file, I get an error on startup that the required directories cannot be created, even though I am using volumes.

user: 1000:1000

Can you share your full docker compose

They do not exist because I deleted them before.

It's creating that /config dir then, can you check the owner of that dir?

As far as I can see it is "root" :(
But I don't understand why, these volumes are new created after all.

I have now created my own directory with userid 1000 and used that instead of the volumes. Now it works!

Oh okay so I guess the server should be setting the owner of those initial directories to the UID/GID passed in env.
