Hello all Been working on this periodicaly for a while but can't seem to see the wood for the trees. I am attempting to install nextcloud on ISPconfig but have my data on an SMB share on my TrueNas server. I have created the website within ISPc and it is active. I have created the share on TrueNas. User is the website number (web22 for example) with password dissabled. I have created a sharepoint in fstab as root I can r/w the share from ISPc however if I attempt to write to the share as the web user (web12 for example) I get access denied. Clearly I have missed something but I can't seem to work out what. fstab Code: //10.*.*.*/nextcloud /mnt/nextcloud cifs rw,vers=3.0,credentials=/etc/.nextcloud,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0775 /etc/.nextcloud Code: username=web12 Write command Code: sudo -u web12 touch /mnt/nextcloud/testfile Truenas is a standard smb share with web12 as the user. I din't set ACL on the TrueNas share. Note: I can install nextcloud natively on the server and it works just fine. ISPConfig 3.3.0p3 TrueNAS SCALE Fangtooth 25.04 Your thoughts/comments would be most helpful. Regards Fred
you don't explicitly state if the website (or ssh as the user) can read from the share. my initial thoughts would be that the website is using a chrooted php or open_basedir setting that simply does not give it access to the filesystem outside specific paths. perhaps try mounting the share to /var/www/clients/client##/web12/private/nextcloud * or bind mounting /etc/.nextcloud to /var/www/clients/client##/private/nextcloud in /etc/fstab * probably don't want it mounted directly in the /web folder for security reasons. or directly in /var/www/clients/client##/web##, as you'll need to play around with the immutable bit to add/delete the folder, and the private folder already exists for client data you want to keep private anyway... also, did you 'chown web12:client## /mnt/nextcloud' which, in retrospect, should probably have been my first thought..
So I found several things I had missed/done wrong. I reset the share to /var/www/clients/client1/web12/private/nextcloud I was trying to chown -R web12:client1 /share while the share was mounted. It doesn't work while mounted. The share on TrueNas had incomplete permissions. I forgot to add the group. I also moved the credentials file to /var/www/clients/client1/web12/private/nextcloud as suggested. Lastly I added /var/www/clients/client1/web12/private/nextcloud to the PHP open_basedir for the website. Many thanks for the initial pointer as it turned me in the write direction. Regards Fred I found to errors I had missed.
