Problem with deployment through docker
Hi, I used to have a Homarr instance on another pc, I copied the dokcer-compose.yml file but when deploying for some reasons it can't create the things it need to work and (db, redis, trusted-certificates) and so when trying to connect it gives error 500. It is running with my user privileges, as any other docker container I run and I am the owner of the directory it should create those things into. What can I do?

Running as a different user | Homarr documentation
By default the container is running with user root and group root.

yes, but as with every other docker container, it runs as 1000:1000 as stated in the .env file. Here is the docker-compose.yml
services:
homarr:
container_name: homarr
image: ghcr.io/homarr-labs/homarr:latest
restart: unless-stopped
networks:
- default
- socket_proxy
volumes:
- ${DOCKERPATH}Homarr/appdata:/appdata
ports:
- 7575:7575
env_file:
- '/home/artrin/home-media-server/.env'
environment:
- SECRET_ENCRYPTION_KEY=76b33d33e1aba6f436a7c5e4f62ea87d978f015b9e405498d6e4e844745d5085
should i let it run as root? I don't understant why only homarr has this issue with permissions
!qa leaked_secret_key
Our team noted that at least one of your messages contains a secrets encryption key used in Homarr.
As documented at the installation docs, the secrets encryption key is a cruicial key that will be used to encrypt your data. By posting this key you compromised part of your security and we strongly recommend you to change it, since malicious acters could gain access to your integration passwords, usernames and tokens by decrypting your database if they gain access to said database.
To do this, update the secrets encryption key variable. Doing so will break all integrations and you must manually re-enter the secrets again.
Manually removing it after posting does not fix your issue since automated bots can and will scrape messages for leaked data.
To avoid such problems in the future, please always remove the encryption key when posting online. The Homarr team will never ask you for any passwords or the secrets encryption key.

Docker is our recommended installation method for beginners and professionals.
You can run as root (which will likely "fix" the problem), but for running with any other user, you must follow the guide I've linked you
ok I've just looked on the documentation you sent about using different user and apparently the issue is that it creates the folder appdata/ and only then changes user from root to 1000 so the owner of appdata was root, I changed that and now it works!
don't know why this happens tho
