In the files folder everything belongs to root (except the first two folders), is it supposed to be?

Apparently the video processor (Paperclip) doesn't have sudo and cannot access this folders

Is it safe to just chown everything to mastodon:mastodon?

Or does it have to be fixed in the recipe or docker rather?

@Numerica

Is it safe to just chown everything to mastodon:mastodon?

Yes — but I think @decentral1se was saying over in #10 that it might be necessary to do it on the host using the numeric UID / GID; maybe the mastodon container doesn't have permission by default? abra app run -u root ... app might also do it.
