Move files fails with 400 error

[Druntar]

Description

I'm trying to move a folder or file from one place to another.

Expected behaviour

I expect the folder or file to be moved to the new folder.

What is happening instead?

The process proceeds normally until I click the final move button. then I receive this error.
Failed to move/copy: {"status":400,"message":"invalid source path: "}

Additional context

I am able to upload files fine. I can do anything else with them really and it works fine. If i ssh into the machine the files are created when uploaded or if I create a new folder through the UI on the disk location fine. User and group permissions match in the container and at the file level. If i move the files on disk the Web UI corrects on refresh.

OS

• OpenMediaVault 7.7.24
• OMV-Extras plugin installed to provide Docker interface.
• Mergerfs plugin used to fuse drives into one filesystem.
• Filesystem location "/srv/mergerfs/Cloud/filebrowser"

How to reproduce?

This is a fresh install. Behavior has existed since setup. Just try to move a file or folder from one place to another.

I realized digging through the documentation that I had missed setting up the cacheDir. That has been resolved.
Sadly, this has not resolved the issue. Please see the updated log and compose text attached.

More configuration digging and log reading lead me to the database having an error. I reconfigured the config.yaml to point to the correct db location, and bind mounted a file location for storage in the compose file. The database is now being created and recalled correctly.

I still cannot move files from within the web UI.

A couple things I notice I would like to dig into:

1. I notice you run with 1000:100 user, meaning the filebrowser user in the container likely doesn't have file system permissions. can you do ls -ltrha /srv/mergerfs/Cloud/filebrowser on the host and show the fs permissions?

2. I noticed some access control related issues on the first set of logs [ERROR] failed to add or update rule: user 'Erik' does not exist: the resource does not exist. Do you have any access rules preventing any access?

Also seems related to this other issue that was recently posted #1763

1. please see the image attached.
2. I was testing user configuration and some other things. I had not yet created the User "Erik" which is why it threw the error. . I am doing all of this from the admin user created during setup. I have no access rules.

I also saw that issue when I searched this before posting. I didn't think it was related as I can upload files. I just can't move them. That's the part I don't get. I can create and delete files, but can't move them.

I believe this may be solved in beta-v1.1.5 where a chmod operation is attempted, which might solve the permission issues.

Can you see if it still occurs there?

[Druntar]

Will pull it now.

Image pulled.
Container Restarted.
Still can't move files in the WebUI.
Log Attached

Filebrowser Quantum(4).log

config.txt

The only change to the compose file was the move from stable to the beta version you suggested.

Edit - I have enabled debug logging in case it may provide you with more information somehow.

Oh interesting, that's a 400 error. The error message should show up in the web UI as a notification, do you see any notification error?

[Druntar]

Yes, it pops up in the lower right corner.
