`/data` directory belongs to `root:root` about docker-rutorrent HOT 4 CLOSED

Looks like by setting CHECK_PERM_DATA to false, will prevent the root user taking ownership the /data directory.

chown root:root /data # fix chroot sftp

Why does sftp require us to set this directory to belong to root?

The chroot folder /data must be owned by root to work. Indeed it's specific to my use.

But what is your problem with this, maybe we can find a more elegant solution.

I'm currently mounting a non-root directory into this directory because I didn't want to run this container under root. Since we are passing in UID and GID as the environment variables, I didn't expect the folder would be owned by root.

The workaround of setting CHECK_PERM_DATA to false works fine for me. A more elegant solution can be CHECK_PERM_DATA should use the UID and GID to own the directories instead of root. Another solution can be defaulting CHECK_PERM_DATA to false.

I'm not sure how does your workflow works. Shouldn't root already have access to all files within the system?

Ok, I found another solution. I have removed the line chown root:root /data
