– Path: Folder is not writable by user sonarr Description of issue:
I have recently setup Sonarr along with Transmisison and Jackett on Ubuntu 20.10. I have not been able to to add a root folder as there is an issue with the permissions as per the log. I have created a folder called Media and whilst i do know my way around Ubuntu i havent worked out how to add the sonarr user to this folder if that is indeed what i have to do. Any basic steps would be helpful.
During the installation, you will be asked which user and group Sonarr must run as. It’s important to choose these correctly to avoid permission issues with your media files. We suggest you keep at least the group name identical between your download client(s) and Sonarr.
If you need to correct these after installation, please run dpkg-reconfigure sonarr. See debconf for more information.
I just recently had a issue where something change the permissions on the folder I was using for root in Sonarr and no matter what I did or baker suggested fixed it. I ended up just creating a new folder just for Sonarr and giving it 755 permissions, added it as the root folder and haven’t had the problem since.
