[FR]: UID/GID Mapping Support #532

Closed undaunt closed 5 months ago

undaunt commented 5 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please elaborate.

When folders are created within the recycled or orphaned torrent structure, they are owned by root:root. This in and of itself is not a problem, but it would be ideal to have the ownership match the qBittorrent container and host OS user, if possible.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please support mapping of UID/GID, particularly for the mkdir function or any file/folder actions if possible.

Does your solution involve any of the following?

Describe alternatives you've considered

I regularly run the following within my downloads folder to update, and understand what has been updated, with respect to ownership, but it is not the ideal fix:

sudo chown -Rv undaunt:undaunt * | grep changed

Who will this benefit?

Users who may want to move folders or files back out of recycled and orphaned, or keep permissions aligned within their downloads folder structures.

Additional Information

Thanks for your consideration.

PUID and PGID support is not required to change the user the container runs as - docker run and docker compose already natively support functionality to do so.

@bakerboy448 Thanks for clarifying, I was able to use user: UID/GID successfully, just wasn't sure if that would work as sometimes it causes permission issues with some images based on how they are written. Working well now after I chown'd the existing log files.
