disable chown for backups

[cocam123]

Hello!

I would like to know if it's possible to disable the chown command while making backups.

I have a storage server made for that but it's in ftp so it's unable to chown

Given that Cloudron does not support FTP backups, are you mounting your storage on your server via FUSE or something ?

I used curlftpfs to mount my storage server

No idea how well curlftpfs works. There is a flag internally to disable chown. There is no UI though since it wasn't required so far. For quick testing, you can simply comment out the lines that do the chown . In /home/yellowtent/box/src/storage/filesystem.js . https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/blob/master/src/storage/filesystem.js#L85 . Just make that if (false) and attempt a backup (no need to restart the code)

Okay I saw an option "server doesn't support chown" something like that for backups. I activated that and it worked. I have a new question but I will open a new ticket.

Thanks for your help!

@cocam123 whoops, you are right! I forgot there is an option in the UI for this

The exact checkbox text is Remote file system supports chown
