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

      I did set it up that way initially and ot was quite simple but figured an exposed docker with a secure method would be the main way to go since my main case use is accessing and editing my notes outside my own devices and network (e.g. a library computer and network). If it can still be done via the settings method, please tell!

      I know exposing it to other networks might be less secure and siyuan is a privacy first app...but my notes are just housing my uni notes about anatomy so I'm not too fussed about security. If my notes are a bit less protected but easily accessible and my IP addresses and etc are secure then I'm perfectly content

      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!

      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.
