path cache mkdir cache: permission denied[Bug]: about navidrome HOT 12 OPEN

I'm running into the same issue. I am using a modified version of the docker compose configuration

version: "3.7"
services:
    navidrome:
      image: deluan/navidrome:latest
      container_name: navidrome
      hostname: navidrome
      user: 1000:1000
      ports:
        - 4533:4533
      restart: unless-stopped
      environment:
        ND_SCANSCHEDULE: 1h
        ND_LOGLEVEL: info
        ND_SESSIONTIMEOUT: 24h
      volumes:
        - navidrome_data:/data
        - /mnt/Media_Store/Music:/music
volumes:
  navidrome_data:

I would expect this to work as docker is simply creating an empty volume and giving it to the container. I suspect the issue is that I am declaring a user (as specified by the config).

Edit: Removing the user tag from the config got this up and running. So it is indeed an issue that the user (whatever uid used) does not have write access to a volume given by docker compose. I could likely fix this via some modifications to the volume in the docker compose yaml but honestly, just removing the tag is easier

What a coincidence! I was looking to move the cache directory to a different location and ran into the same issue.

from navidrome.

The cache directory is in your data folder. Where the the data folder is depends on your Installation method and on your configuration. Navidrome has to have full read/write permissions to the data folder (to be able to write to the database and create cachr files)

Is it possible to move the Cache directory to a different path outside the Data directory?

Yes, removing the user: 1000:1000 property resolved the issue.

I'd appreciate that too as I'm running this on a raspberry PI, and I like to keep cache stuff on a proper tmpfs so that my SD card can live a long and healthy life

Is it possible to move the Cache directory to a different path outside the Data directory?

Yes it is. Look for CacheFolder in the documentation.

Thank you for the response. I've mounted three volumes (bind-mount) to the container, and I'm encountering a 'path cache mkdir cache: permission denied' issue. The user has full read and write access to the mount from the container. I removed the ND_CACHEFOLDER variable and tried this manually to ensure that it's not a permission problem.

Config:

`volumes:

• /path/to/navidrome01:/data
• /path/to/navidrome01-cache:/cache
• /path/to/music:/music:ro
  environment:
• ND_CACHEFOLDER="./cache"`

PS: I also tried ND_CACHEFOLDER="cache". ND_CACHEFOLDER="/cache"`.

In your case, path must be /cache (same as the volume)

Can you post your full docker-compose.yml? What is your host OS? If it is Linux can you check permissions of the folder by doing a ls -ld /path/to/navidrome01-cache and post here, please?

Im also having this problem after I start the container.
Any possible solutions?? Im kinda lost :)

Yes, removing the user: 1000:1000 property resolved the issue.

Why does that fix it?
