Which user and group

[jgw0]

I am trying to install sonarr from:
https://sonarr.tv/#downloads-v3-linux-ubuntu
I am about ready to install sonarr but was warned: you will be asked which user and group Sonarr must run as

I have no idea what those two things are, or would be.

Thoughts?

You’re using ubuntu so i’m guessing you understand terminal commands?

Using the terminal under your account you plan to use Sonarr on find the user id and group id in my case it’s “dad” and the user group. Typing in id into terminal will give you your user id and group id you’re looking for.
When I type in id i get uid=1026(daddy) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),101(administrators),65538(docker)
You want Sonarr to be able to create folders and edit files just like your main linux user account. I use docker so my install is a little different.

For me I add

-e PUID=1026 \
-e PGID=100 \

And Sonarr can do what Sonarr does.

Thank you for the reply!

When I did id I got: uid=1000(greg) gid=1000(greg) groups=1000(greg),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),120(lpadmin),132(lxd),133(sambashare)

I didn’t get what you did although up through groups it was me (greg) then it went off. In theory, however, I should be able to use greg greg to get it done.

Thanks again!
