Provide a screenshot and describe the bug

After build and start - the archivebox and scheduler containers fail. Rest is running good.

I'm on Synology NAS and so ssh in and using docker directly instead of some Synology manager tool:

docker compose run archivebox init --setup
And this ended the same.

Steps to reproduce

Downloaded the provided docker-compose.yml template and added folder in FS to accomodate some location for it. So basically nothing changed (passwords and default user in ADMIN_USER/PASS).

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/data/logs/errors.log'

It's a permissions issue with your data dir.

Just run this and it will fix it automatically:

chmod -R 777 ./data (outside docker)

Ahh, easy one, should dig deeper on the log.
Kindly thank you for the patience.

Edit: just for the scheduler container is needed the PGID.

Because otherwise: 'OSError: Read crontab archivebox: crontabs/archivebox/: fopen: Permission denied'

So id and find the docker gid.
Putting it in compose solve setting the cron job (so far it does not fail).
