    As an OMV user, most of my time starting a container is troubleshooting the compose syntax (delete tabs, replace with spaces, is it " or ’ ?) I recently discovered that some containers create a user by default with no way of specifying another user and since it’s a container it doesn’t register to the host, meaning that setting file permissions and accessing via smb is oh so much joy. But every struggle is a new fount of knowledge.

      User permissions is my biggest gripe with containers. Most other things are so easy once you get the hang of them.

      Lord help you if you want to use a non root user in the container and mount any volumes to it.

        And it was all over setting up kiwix for me. It now overshadows Paperless in complexity. Now I need to find more things to play with, with no intention of using them for anything other than learning.

          What’s your issue with paperless? Assuming its PaperlessNGX it shouldn’t be more than a simple compose

            It was my 3rd ever container and I’m still learning the wonderful world of Linux by doing stuff (I’m using Bazzite on main pc, but it’s locked and so not a whole hella lot I can fiddle with) And it was the first compose that wasn’t just copy paste edit for me.
