Description of issue:

Everytime when there’s a auto update I get the following error:
Cannot install update because startup folder ‘/opt/sonarr’ is not writable by the user ‘username’.

I originally made the install location the right owner with:
sudo chown -R username:username /opt/sonarr

But after a update:

all files are from the owner sonarr ?

I didn’t have this issue with V2.x

You should add your user to the sonarr group instead of changing the ownership then it’ll have read/write access to the files.

The v3 debian package sets the permissions on install, but the update doesn’t do anything different.

Hmm okay,
I used the following guide to set up v2.
https://www.htpcguides.com/install-nzbdrone-on-debian-linux/.
Did the same for v3.

Weird that I never got that message with v2.
I’ll do some reading about what you suggested.
