I've put a custom comskip.ini in the folder that's mapped to /channels-dvr/data in my Channels setup running in Docker. The user and group are the same as all other Channels files and the file permissions are set to 775. But whenever I try to access the file within the container (eg with ls or touch) I get 'Permission denied'. I've not had any recordings to test if Channels is picking up and using the custom comskip.ini, but is this expected behaviour?
Permission denied is not normal. If the thread setting on the web UI disappears that means it's able to read the custom comskip.ini
It must have been something wrong with the file itself. I created a new one in vi and it's picking it up just fine now, and the thread setting disappeared from the web UI.
EDIT: Actually it was a problem with SELinux and forgetting to apply the proper security context to the file I added. Sometimes I think SELinux is more trouble than it's worth.
