Hello! I’m getting an error when trying to upload a profile picture in the latest build of Vikunja.
vikunja-1 | 2025-02-05T23:23:01Z: ERROR ▶ 10f open /app/vikunja/files/1: permission denied
I’ve tried changing around the volumes and the permissions (from using named volumes to using local volumes and everything else I can think of), but I get the same error every single time. At this point, I’m starting to think there’s something broken with file permissions outside of the volume, as I get a similar failed mkdir error when I don’t use a volume and try to upload a PFP. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Did you change the permissions on the volume?
As explained here: Installing
I have tried that, yes. Right now I’m using a named volume instead of mounting a file path on the host machine, so it’s stored inaccessible to the host machine, but I have tried mounting a file path and changing the permissions. It hasn’t worked. Additionally, the docker image doesn’t seem to have a shell bundled with it, so I can’t enter the instance and change the file path from inside.
However, I really think there’s something wrong with the image itself, as I get a “mkdir” error when I just set it up without mounting anything (named volume or local volume), meaning that permissions are screwed up in some way that’s preventing the instance from accessing anything for write in that directory.
Which permissions did you try?
I’ll look into making this work without host folder mounted.
