This morning I was going through my usual routine of doing a docker pull and I saw that Paperless had an update. Upon checking the Github, I noticed that my version was a lot older than what’s currently available. After a bit of digging, I realised that Linux Server deprecated their repository. Cool, no worries, let me switch to the new repository. I delete my Paperless and run the installer on the official repository and all was going perfectly. But I had a power cut. No worries, I go to the fuse box, reset the tripped switch and then manually pull in the Paperless directory to finish the installation. Only problem, I can’t get it to work. I assume that something fucked up and so delete everything and try again. Only now, when it gets to creating the yaml files it says “no permission”. I check the permissions and they’re the same as everything else. Anyone got any idea of what’s happening or how to fix it?

    Check whether you have extended attributes like SElinux or ACL, assuming you’re checking file system permissions. Sometimes there are permission problems when you run out of storage space or a file system is marked as read only, etc. similarly, networked file systems have their own layers of security and quotas to review. Good luck!
