I was troubleshooting my dataset permissions for another applications and I am pretty sure I set my /Applications dataset that houses all application datasets to something and did it recursively…
I have been trying to follow the TrueNAS documentation like I had done before to get this application working. Except I cannot get the app to update after editing it. If I try to just start the application, the application crashes and won’t boot up .Error logs all mention permission errors…
Please see below for the permissions for the application dataset tree.
So I made data2, html2, & postgres2 datasets, and copied all files from data/html/postgres into their respective datasets. Then I fully deleted Nextcloud and reinstalled. It reinstalled and started fine, but after copying all the files back into the datasets, it’s borked again.
another thing to check: netdata user and group both need traverse permission of your nextcloud dataset.
If neither this is enough, give another look into logs to see if a different error is raised (and not a permission error anymore)
I am not sure where to look for the traverse permission. netdata is owner/group and “User”/”Group” have read/write/execute permissions. “Other” has no permissions.
Here’s the latest log entry in /var/log/app_lifecycle.log
Searching through the interwebz and found a github post mentioning checking the permissions inside the data set. See below:

The solution from the github post was to chown the data & html datasets to force www-data to the be owners. TrueNAS GUI was showing that it was the owner, but it wasn’t showing it across all files.
Anways, I followed those steps and that didn’t work haha.
well those ACL were not good for sure.
Do you have set permission using the GUI or with command?
When i deploied Nextcloud on Scale i have also struggle with permissions, at the end for me was literally the execute permission on top datasets that prevent other user to reach the path.
I would suggest you to try strip all ACL via GUI and repeat the process:
stop everything
on top datasets Application grant special permission, i have put
