General • SFTP / container mount permissions

Hello,

I'm new to MikroTik and could use some help regarding SFTP / container mount permissions.

I have attached a USB stick to my hAP ax³ and am using SFTP to access it. I have also mounted a folder on the USB stick as /data for a syncthing container that I'm running.


I'm starting the container with the PUID=0 and PGID=0 environment variables. So, it is running as "root". (whoami also says so when checking with /container/shell)

However, I cannot fully access/edit the data on the USB stick from the container.

Both, folders and files created via SFTP show up as belonging to nobody:nobody (65534:65534) for the container. Folders created via SFTP will get "drwx------" permissions, while files are created as "-rw-r--r--".

I have tried to change the permissions using SFTP, but that - while saying "Changing attributes successful" - seems to do nothing at all. The permissions don't really change. (SFTP list shows them to be the same as before.)

Is there anything I change on either the SFTP or the container mount side to make the files and folders fully accessible from the container?

Thanks
