How to apply changes to program installed in docker container via armbian-config?

[chupo_cro]

I installed Filebrowser via armbian-config but it didn't work. The container was restarting and there was:

 

Using database: /database/filebrowser.db
Error: open /database/filebrowser.db: permission denied

 

in the .log file.

 

The developers of Filebrowser explained they introduced some breaking changes and documented the changes that have to be made to avoid that error:

 

- User: File Browser no longer runs as root, but as user with PID 1000 and GID 1000. You can still change this by using Docker's --user flag [https://www.docker.com/blog/understanding-the-docker-user-instruction/].
- Volumes: the volumes with the database and configuration are now aligned with the s6-overlay images. Instead of mounting the files themselves, which leads to frequent issues, you now mount the surrounding directory.

Unfortunately, these are breaking changes and will require updates on your side. Assuming you have a database.db, a .filebrowser.json and the data in /data, do the following:

1. Change the path of database in .filebrowser.json to /database/filebrowser.db
2. Rename database.db to filebrowser.db
3. Rename .filebrowser.json to settings.json
4. Put them in the same directory locally, let's say /app/filebrowser/
5. Change the permissions of both directories: sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /app/filebrowser /data
6. Mount with the flags -v /app/filebrowser:/database -v /app/filebrowser:/config - you can also choose to put them in separate directories, but it is not needed.

If you are still getting errors, please make sure that the paths/volumes you are mounting have read-write permission for user 1000:1000. For more up to date information regarding how you should use the Docker image, check filebrowser.org/installation.html#docker [https://filebrowser.org/installation.html#docker]

 

But how exactly to apply those changes after the container already has been created and started via armbian-config?
