<![CDATA[Plugin folders need ownership change after installation]]>I'm very bemused by this.

The first time I installed a plugin (the Akismet plugin) I didn't have to change permissions on the /app/code/plugins/discourse-akismet/ folder from root to cloudron

But every other plugin I've installed after that has required me to open the File Manager and change the ownership from root to cloudron.

Why?

Because the first time, when I installed the Akismet plugin, I restarted the app before looking at the File Manager, and seemingly restarting the app fixes the permissions.

You can also have this added to the docs s steps for plugin installs.

I definitely didn't manually change user anytime.
