SMB access to deluge downloads

Hi all,

I recently migrated from Bluefin to EE.
Previously, I was running all docker apps in a Debian virtual machine. But because EE natively supports docker, I decided to go this route.

The upgrade itself was flawless, no issues there. But I have some problems with apps.

I decided to start simple, with the deluge.
I created two datasets: one on SSD for the app data itself and one on HDD for downloads. I linked these two datasets in the storage section of the installation. It runs fine.

I then created an SMB share to the HDD dataset. I added my user to ACL, with WRX permissions. I can read access it OK from my PC, but it is still write-protected. And I don’t know why. What am I doing wrong?

The preset used for both created datasets was “app” if it makes any difference.

I did some googling, and it looks like in previous versions of scale, there was an option “Enable Host Path Safety Checks”, that you have to disable for this to work, but it looks like it was removed in EE. Is it now by default, enabled, or disabled?

What am I missing?

Thank you

Ok, so I managed to solve the issue.

I removed the installation and the datasets. I then created 2 new datasets. One for config, with the “app” preset, and one for downloads with “SMB” preset. I installed Deluge. I then added the correct group to the ACL for the Downloads dataset. Now everything works. The key was using SMB preset for downloads dataset.
