<![CDATA[File ownership after migration]]>I was testing cloudron migration for my test/dev server and everything worked fine apart from the file ownership inside /app/data weren't correct after the migration. I had to manually do a chown cloudron:cloudron to fix it.

Since the only app on that server was one of my own, I was wondering if I did anything wrong in the app itself that would cause this to happen.

Should all file ownership be handled by the migration or is it left to the app itself to fix this during its init?

Usually this means running a chown on /app/data.

So since you have a custom app, this may just be missing in your package. Our docs on app packaging are a bit lacking here 😕
