Not able to write on mounted volume

[msbt]

I tried to use a mounted volume to keep the Cloudron installation itself slim, but as soon as I move the sqlite db and ebooks to that volume and adjust the path in calibre, it says DB is not Writeable.

This is easily reproducable, if you jump on a terminal and try to write anything on the mount as the cloudron-user (which also runs the app), you get a permission denied, if you do the same as root, it works. How would I go about to give the mount write permission for the cloudron user?

Are you able to just chown the mount dir or does that error out in a read-only fs?

[msbt]

@murgero no, have already tried that, but the owner isn't changeable

root@xxx:/media# ls -la

@msbt I think I had something similar but in my case was ablr to fix by changing ownership of relevant folders files using the File Manager for the Volume.

@jdaviescoates ah I didn't know you could access the volumes via the filemanager. I however am getting a 404 when trying to open that up, like GET https://my.cloudron.com/api/v1/volumes/id/files/ [HTTP/2 404 Not Found 192ms]

@msbt I've only ever done it via the GUI in by clicking on the little folder icons in Volumes

[msbt]

@jdaviescoates and this works for you? Also getting the same 404 error when I click the folder icon

[jdaviescoates]

@msbt yes, clicking on those icons works for me
