Write permissions for n8n's Read/Write Node

Apps and Virtualization
1

Hi!

I thought I had figured out how permissions work, but apparently not. I want to mount a data set in n8n to write files to it. But no matter what I try, I get an error that the file is not writeable.

File permissions looks like this for /mnt/nvme/appdata/n8n/agent-manifests

drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 2 Feb 23 20:05 .
drwxrwx--x 6 root root 7 Feb 23 20:05 ..

And in n8n’s settings, I have this:

What is wrong? :slight_smile:

I would like to hijack this post…

Did they change anything ACL/permission related in 25.10.2.1?

I tried to install tidarr as a custom app. Is it necessary to set custom user to 568? Because if not it shows “unknown user"

Same as him I set a hostpath with ACL user 568 me as user “haldi" can detele most files in the folder but the .cache hidden folder itself is not deletable.
