Description

From:

• https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii/issues/3020
• https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii/issues/3747

I gather that firefly currently doesn't support anything like supplying UID and GID so that files written by firefly are owned by your preferred user. Currently they're all owned by www-data it seems. This is a bit of an exception amongst the containers I use, and it would be nice if it were possible to supply your preferred user.

Solution

Allow the user to supply a UID and GID so that files you might want to persist on the host are owned by your preferred user. I see it's been discussed before, but there's nothing open at the moment and I still think it would be nice to have.

What are alternatives?

Feel free to pick this up. I won't be able to, unfortunately.
