Setting up siyuan with docker and exposing it with cloudflare

Hi all!

I'm new to everything siyuan and docker related and struggling to understand how to set it up so my workspace can be accessible from any computer browser with any network. I've tried the docker image for siyuan but keep running into the issue of permission denied when trying to run the container. If someone can help me step by step, or even images or a quick video would be extremely helpful. My OS is windows 10 Home (or 11 if need a more recent one)

Thank you in advance! ☺️☺️❤️

Edit: change title regarding vpn to cloudflare. I read that cloudflare would be a much easier way to expose the container rather than using a vpn, if anyone has advice or tips - please feel free to share

      You should give more details about your setup, what Linux distro, how did you install docker, what docker-compose.yml did you use to deploy the container, at what stage do you get that "permission denied" error, spinning up the container or while trying to access from the browser.

      If you are using the default Docker Compose suggested in GitHub, make sure the directory

      /siyuan/workspace

      exists, and that the permissions on that directory match the UID/GUID 1000:1000 specified. Or change accordingly.

      This is an example for the default values on the Docker Compose from GitHub:

      mkdir -p /siyuan/workspace
chmod 1000:1000 /siyuan/workspace

      You might want to run chmod with "-R" for the parent directory /siyuan. It's hard to guess your problem with the little information you have provided.

      Usually the UID 1000 is assigned to the first user created, that's the user without privileges that "uses" the system (as you shouldn't be interacting with the system as root unless necessary).

      So the default "1000:1000" suggested is intended for your regular user being the one running docker. If you created a dedicated user for this purpose, that UID and GID should match the one of that user (maybe 1001?).

      You can list the UID of your users with:

      cut -d: -f1,3 /etc/passwd

      This is not a speciffic topic for SiYuan, it's a Docker topic and maybe the best forum to address docker permission issues spining containers is the source of the guide you used to install docker in your machine.

      Thanks for your help!

      It turns out I've made a very stupid mistake from the beginning by trying to run the commands via powershell not knowing they were actually linux 🤦🏻‍♀️. I've installed Ubuntu and did the whole process again and it runs beautifully now. Only issue is that I'm trying to expose it to other networks securely but it might turn out my little surface go isn't powerful enough for that so I'll have to wait until my new laptop comes. Thanks again!

      Nevermind... I just found out I did not assign the default folder to uid and gid 1000, which in my case was the default ubuntu user... It works!
