Duplicacy_linux_x64_3.0.1: permission denied

krazymad · 4 December 2022 07:20

Setting up Duplicacy in Docker via saspus/duplicacy-web and keep running into a permission denied error when trying to setup my storage connection to a bucket in B2.

Failed to start the CLI executable: fork/exec /root/.duplicacy-web/bin/duplicacy_linux_x64_3.0.1: permission denied
Failed to check the storage at b2://TESTHELPTEST: fork/exec /root/.duplicacy-web/bin/duplicacy_linux_x64_3.0.1: permission denied

Steps I’ve taken to troubleshoot:

I’ve already done “chmod +x” on ‘duplicacy_linux_x64_3.0.1’ at /root/.duplicacy-web/bin/ and at /bin/ on the docker app config folder, but am still getting the same error.
Via the GUI, changed Command Line Version from Latest to Stable. Note, it’s still running 3.0.1 as the current version.
Attempted to setup the storage after making the above changes. Ran into the same error and restarted my container in hopes a setting would kick in after the restart.

Does the user that the duplicacy_web runs under (USR_ID:GRP_ID) have access to the config folder?

Post your docker run command, and output from ls -l duplicacy_linux_x64_3.0.1

Thanks for the heads up on my USR_ID, that was the issue, it didn’t have access to the config folder.

Issue resolved!

Can you elaborate on how you resolved this issue with more clear instructions? I am unsure how to properly change permissions to give access to the config folder. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi Cam,

I know little of Docker, but i believe you need to set variables, e.g. on my unRAID installation, the instructions advise: To run Duplicacy as root set USR_ID=0 and GRP_ID=0

Does it have execute flag set?

seb.iordan · 30 January 2024 15:12

I don’t know, where can I see it?

saspus · 30 January 2024 15:23

In bash

[ -x path/to/duplicacy] && echo "File is executable" || echo "File is not an executable or does not exist"

Or

ls -l path/to/duplicacy

And check if it has x flag set for the user and group. While at it make sure it is readable by a user duplicacy is running as.

Or just set that flag anyway:

chmod +x path/to/duplicacy

Or delete the executable and let duplicacy_web download and configure one again.

seb.iordan · 30 January 2024 15:40

I’m using unraid as an OS and Duplicacy inside a docker container, how do I find this user and give him permissions?
In the OS I have only 2 user, root and my personal one.

This is what i get with the command you gave me:

I also tried your second command, it gives me the same error trying to create a new storage

saspus · 30 January 2024 15:56

Path to duplicacy I meant path to duplicacy executable in the bin folder.

Is duplicacy container running as root? Or what user?

seb.iordan · 30 January 2024 17:04

Yes, the container is running as root.

saspus · 30 January 2024 17:16

ls -alt /mnt/user/appdata/Duplicacy/bin

seb.iordan · 30 January 2024 17:26

This is what i get:

AZERTY · 30 January 2024 17:30

Hi, try to do

chmod +x /mnt/user/appdata/Duplicacy/bin/duplicacy_linux_x64_3.2.3

seb.iordan · 30 January 2024 17:36

Now it works, thanks to y’all.

Derek_v2 · 31 January 2024 07:21

Odd that it was problematic. I didn’t have to muck around with that when i installed my docker Duplicacy. I’m not running mine as root, but that fix means it wasn’t even executable. Weird.
