Error caused by log file ownership about sonarr-sma HOT 4 CLOSED

You just need to not launch manual.py as root which is probably what you're doing. The Python logging system doesn't allow you to specify alternative users when it's doing its file creation or rotation and if you're executing it using docker exec this defaults to using root

Not sure exactly what command you're doing to run manual.py but you can probably solve it using

docker exec -it --user abc <container id> <command>

abc is the user used by the linuxserver containers for everything and setting the environment variable just matches abc's UID and GID with the external UID and PID set by the environment variables but doesn't impact log file creation if you execute the script from a different user (in this case root)

You can also just use the PUID as well to achieve the same result

docker exec -it --user $PUID <container id> <command>

Quick test of

 docker exec -it --user $PUID sonarr bash

shows that I am successfully logged in as abc

abc@f9b0df2211ce:/$

Thank you, I was leaving out the --user option from the docker exec, dah!

I thought I was missing something obvious... that's what happens when you've been up all night then try and troubleshoot something.

I'll try that. Thanks again.
