Hey All, circling back on this after a while, I don't think it was a permissions issue after all.

I suspect the way calibre desktop and calibre-web handle capitalization is slightly different and changes stored in metadata.db are case sensitive, so when I uploaded my library folder there were for whatever reason changes to the capitalization of author names that caused the issue.

Solved this by renaming folders and files in file manager to match what the error message was expecting, for example if the "Betty Smith" folder wasn't found, I renamed lowercase "betty smith" to "Betty Smith", after which I was able to normally use calibre-web. Had to do this for ~5-10% of books which is a pain but glad to have it working again. If anyone has found a better solution eager to hear it, scanning through the library for books with missing covers was a good indicator of where the broken links were.

@ethanxrosen can you update to 7.4.1 and check if the restore works? Otherwise, can you reach out on support@cloudron.io ? I can't quite make out what the problem is.

For future reference i managed to clear it up by using a slightly modified version of Girish's search command. It seems like the length limit applies to path length not just the filename length

find . -type f -print|awk '{print length($0), $0}' | sort -n

Went into the web interface and deleted / renamed files longer than 156 bytes and finally cleared trashbin/versioned files

(wipes all deleted / old versions of files - careful):

sudo -u www-data php -f /app/code/occ versions:cleanup sudo -u www-data php -f /app/code/occ trashbin:cleanup

@robi @girish agreed it would be awesome if there was an automated way to handle this in the future

@ethanxrosen No worries 🙂 I hit the same problem a few months ago (however, I ended up basically never using CouchPotato to download stuff directly, instead basically only using it for post-processing, as it's not that good at it, and it's much less useful for movies than for TV shows)

This caveat shoud however be noted in the CouchPotato documentation https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/couchpotato/ . @girish maybe you can add a line there that says that to use CouchPotato with Transmission, one has to use Black-hole?

@ethanxrosen right, first migrate to 18 - https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/upgrade-ubuntu-18/ and then 20.

@mehdi Ah ok, familiar with that.. was hoping for some sort of submission system, upload web interface or RSS integration for remote curation.

It looks like restarting docker and running configure again did the trick. Fixed!

Thanks Girish that is it- I'll have to manually move over my calendar / contacts it looks like but the emails are there
