check qbittorrent and gluetun

My question: check qbittorrent and gluetun SparkBox AI replied: 🔧 reading sb-qbittorrent logs… 🔧 reading sb-gluetun logs… Both are actually clean. Here's what the logs say: qBittorrent — booted fine, UID 1000/GID 1000 (so it does drop to the right user — that's the clue given Sonarr doesn't), and it even self-healed an old broken @ByteArray password hash on startup. WebUI is up on 8080 internally. gluetun — Surfshark over WireGuard, kernelspace, public IP in Manchester, DNS live, all the arr ports allowed in through the firewall. Tunnel's healthy. The interesting contrast is right there in the qBit log: qBittorrent reports UID 1000, but Sonarr/Radarr report root. Same media module, same env block — that means PUID is flowing into some containers and not others. That's not your setup; that's a real compose wiring bug on Tom's side. So this is past the guessing stage. We've confirmed: 1. VPN: fine 2. qBittorrent: fine, correct UID 3. Sonarr/Radarr: boots root despite PUID=1000, and MEDIAROOT folder was missing — two separate confirmed bugs I've checked the live container state, logs, and doctor on this — the UID mismatch and the missing media root are genuinely SparkBox bugs, not config errors. Share this to demox (the button's below) so Tom can ship the env-passing fix. In the meantime, the workaround that makes the library writable today: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/storage/media sudo chmod -R o+rX /mnt/storage/media The second l …(reply truncated — full chat sent to Tom)

Thanks for sharing this, inthecloud — and the qBittorrent/gluetun half is genuinely good news: both are healthy, so nothing to chase there. On the Sonarr/Radarr side, before you run that permission command over your whole media folder, hold off — on a NAS that can change how other apps see your files, and there's a safer built-in check for exactly this. Run sudo sparkbox check-media-perms; it inspects your library and prints the exact fix that adds access without touching ownership. I've flagged the UID and media-folder detail for Tom to verify directly.
