🐛 [webtrees] SMB mount successful but can't redirect webtrees?..

[arsenyspb]

Description

Hi @alexbelgium this is likely a user error, or maybe a bit more documentation would've helped?

Have a perfectly working SMB mountpoint (...with 4MB blocks wow) based on your 2.2.1 webtrees addon's startup configuration, but webtrees can't use this mountpoint to create its files? It would've been a perfectly stateless docker image if I got this working.

Inside the container the mount works:

# docker exec -it addon_db21ed7f_webtrees /bin/bash
root@db21ed7f-webtrees:/data/webtrees# cd /mnt/2_uploads/webtrees/data/
root@db21ed7f-webtrees:/mnt/2_uploads/webtrees/data# touch test
root@db21ed7f-webtrees:/mnt/2_uploads/webtrees/data# ls -la
total 0
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 0 Jan  2 18:21 .
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 0 Jan  2 16:25 ..
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 0 Jan  2 18:21 test
root@db21ed7f-webtrees:/mnt/2_uploads/webtrees/data# mount -l | grep uploads
//192.168.0.250/2_uploads on /mnt/2_uploads type cifs (rw,relatime,vers=3.1.1,cache=strict,username=<username>,domain=192.168.0.250,uid=0,forceuid,gid=0,forcegid,addr=192.168.0.250,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,iocharset=utf8,soft,nounix,serverino,mapposix,nobrl,reparse=nfs,rsize=4194304,wsize=4194304,bsize=1048576,retrans=1,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1,closetimeo=1)

But in the webtrees:

And it defaults back to /share/webtrees/data/ which is going back to the Supervisor's disk.

Let me know if it's a documentation bug or something, maybe I'll send a rookie PR for your markdown...

Reproduction steps

1. Clean install of addon, with manual user creation [as in issues/907](https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/issues/907#issuecomment-2566974530)
2. Normal boot with CIFS configuration, success
3. Import GEDCOM

I'll try to rework the addon it was an old one and I think I can do a better job now at coding it for efficiency

[alexbelgium]

You probably need to chown -R www-data:www-data the new folder

[arsenyspb]

Ah, yes, www-data for Apach2 in the docker is a good troubleshooting thread, but I've got the widest possible permission on the NAS already:

Also the webtrees container chown seems to be silently ignored... I don't want to go into PCAP sniffing SMB3 just yet:

root@db21ed7f-webtrees:/mnt/2_uploads/webtrees# chown -R www-data:www-data data/
root@db21ed7f-webtrees:/mnt/2_uploads/webtrees# ls -la
total 0
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 0 Jan  2 16:25 .
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 0 Jan  2 21:26 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 0 Jan  2 18:21 data

And webtrees still throws an error... "Cannot write to the folder ‘/mnt/2_uploads/webtrees/data/’."

Wondering how did you make it work?

[alexbelgium]

Hi, I've pushed a new version with code refactor allowing for data folder change, please let me know how it goes!
