Change mode of seafile-data directory

Seafile Server
1

Hi!

Seafile by default creates files with mode 0600.
This is very unfortunate as at least the group (I’m using seafile:seafile) should have read permissions.

Intention behind this:
My backup-Service connects remotely to the server using a backup-user which is member of the seafile group. This backup-job fails as it is unable to read all the commits due to 0600 permissions.

How can I change this behaviour in seafile?
(umask according to kernel is 0022 - so I can rule out this)

Thanks for any help.

I bump this, as I have the exact same problem now! Have you found a solution to your problem? Applying the correct permissions before every backup seems like a very bad workaround

My “solution” is that a cronjob is fixing the permissions every night before the backup runs.
