Ampache - How to add a catalog / media with custom storage?
-
@jdaviescoates yeah, it's a bit rough.. AFAIK, fixing permissions cannot be done for ext4 mounts without a chmod and I don't know if it's a good idea to do this automagically since it changes the metadata on the external disk. Maybe someone else can chime in.
Is yours a ext4 volume or something else? Because others like CIFS support umask flag when mounting. Maybe that's an option too.

Yeah it's CIFS

@jdaviescoates Maybe you can try file_mode and dir_mode flag in the /etc/fstab. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/313093/how-do-i-mount-a-cifs-share-via-fstab-and-give-full-rw-to-guest .
I guess this is part of the complexity in implementing this
Worth automating! -
Hi,
I have a similar problem of @necrevistonnezr here.
I installed Ampache with the docker, although I am not familiar with the docker infrastructure, nor with the issue that can arise with it.
My docker is in
/home/cocconat/ampache/Once I installed the service all run smooth, and I can add the two test songs in the
/home/cocconat/ampache/data/media/All amazing.
Now I would like to add to the Catalog my entire music library. It lives in an external storage mounted in
/home/cocconat/data/MusicI tried to make a link to the folder with
sudo ln -s /home/cocconat/Music ampache/data/media/musicbut the catalogue does not see the linked folder,
I also tried to add a custom path in the
Admin -> Add Catalog, I choseLocalcatalog and use the abs path of my folder/home/cocconat/data/Musicor the relative path../../Musicwhich seems a bit silly ehehe.Anyway, no way to find this folder.
My storage is anexfatmounted with fstab options:defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022 0 1
which should be fine if I do not want to upload/change the files.Is this a problem? shall I add www-data to my group?
And how am I supposed to add the folder? via the link or somehow else?
Thanks,
