Should I chown the new path of my data ?

[JOduMonT]

I migrated my data from the default /home/yellowtent/appsdata/randomVolumeContainerid/data to my new mount point /mnt/nextcloud/data (or should I say Cloudron interface did it for me)

but I noticed than the owner of /home/yellowtent/appsdata/randomVolumeContainerid is 1000:1000 (yellowtent:yellowtent) while the owner of /mnt/nextcloud is 0:0 (root:root)

should i chown /mnt/nextcloud or this don't really matter ?

This should not be necessary, the files within the data folder will anyways be chowned to www-data within the app by root.

may I delete the old empty directory
/home/yellowtent/appsdata/7dd8e169-9efb-485c-9cee-7053e0312360/ ?

so even if I delete both path the old one in /home/yellowtent/appsdata/... and the new /mnt/nextcloud/data than uninstall nextcloud and reinstall it
I always have this error message when I try to move the data

Error : Already Exists - ER_DUP_ENTRY: Duplicate entry '/mnt/nextcloud/data' for key 'dataDir'

just to be clear I remove both path, but specially /mnt/nextcloud/data after the uninstall
/mnt/nextcloud is a second physical hard drive (not the main)

That error looks a lot more like a database constraint error. In this case it appears you already have an app configured on that dataDir?

You should not delete this. This directory is used to storing the database dumps when taking app backup.

yes but than, when I went into my. cloudron the path disappear and when I look a via the console, a new set of data was inside /home/yellowtent/appsdata/7dd8e169-9efb-485c-9cee-7053e0312360/ while my mount point /mnt/nextcloud/data was accessible

between the configuration and the error message I had the reboot the server because of ubuntu security update has cloudron asked me.
