Docker version on Ubuntu 20.04: cannot delete or create new files (read only)
I installed the docker version using Docker Compose.
It works but: I cannot create new files or delete existing files.
Activity log is useful when I try to copy a file, because it gives a bit more info:
/user-files/Name = the root folder of the superuser.

When I check my system, the folder (including all content) mapped to docker /user-files/ has permissions 40775 (drwxrwxr-x)
When I open a console window within the container
(via Portainer) I can delete files in my (superuser) user folder. So the Filerun docker container is able to delete delete files, but the web interface is not. How can I solve this?

Check www-data user permissions.
OK that is the issue. On the system itself this user needs permissions to the files and folders, also anything created in the future. I am not sure how to do that.
This article discribes 5 steps to take:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9133024/www-data-permissions
Is that all necessary in this case?
I did all those commands:
Add the main Ubuntu user to the www-data group
Now allow access to the folder that is mounted for FileRun via Docker-Compose:
Now allow new files to be created:
And it works!
Next step is to add OnlyOffice. Thanks!
