I went to try out the background image feature of the lists, but I got a 500 internal service error sent to the front end. The api logs are showing a "permission denied" when I try to upload the file. Perhaps some permissions got knocked out of whack inside the api container? What should the proper permissions on the files folder be?

By default, the user 1000 and group 1000 should have write access to the files folder, you can change that with the PUID and PGID env variables. Do task attachments work? They use the same underlying files mechanism.

When uploading attachments, I get "e is undefined", both in the frontend and api logs.

Works fine after docker execing into the container and chowning the files folder with chown -R vikunja:vikunja files, so somehow my permissions got out of whack in my api container. Most likely a side effect of some other kind of troubleshooting I did at some point earlier.

Glad you could solve it!

The e is undefined issue is pretty weired, and since its a js issue it's especially weired it shows up in the api logs. Could you open a frontend issue if you see it again?

Actually I think I mistyped about the e is undefined error, the api logs just said permission denied on that one. I can still open the issue on that one if it appears again, but I'm guessing it was probably caused by the permissions.
