Describe the issue

When attempting to set the main library to be a subdirectory of it's original location, it causes a crash without adding anything to the log. Changing it to other directories, such as /media, works without issues.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Setup a new docker container with no existing data or configuration
  2. Link /audiobooks in the docker container to a directory containing multiple subdirectories (e.g. /library1), each of which includes a structured audiobook library
  3. Under Config -> Libraries, edit the Main library
  4. Since editing paths is impossible at this point, add /audiobooks/library1 as a path, and remove /audiobooks
  5. When clicking save, the server will crash, which will be exhibited by the client showing a socket disconnect error.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.0.3

I figured out the problem: When adding or removing paths from a library, abs sets permissions on the path. With a read-only library, this causes a crash.

Fixed in v2.0.15

Should work fine with a read-only library as long as the folders exist first.
