I’ve tried to configure Raspberry Pi 4 as time capsule.
I’ve used this command:
sudo chown -R dietpi: /mnt/dietpi_userdata/samba
The permissions appearing on the root user have been changed to the dietpi user. And many of my apps crashed. How i fix that?
root@DietPi:~# sudo reboot
sudo: /etc/sudo.conf is owned by uid 1000, should be 0
sudo: /etc/sudo.conf is owned by uid 1000, should be 0
sudo: error in /etc/sudo.conf, line 0 while loading plugin "sudoers_policy"
sudo: /usr/lib/sudo/sudoers.so must be owned by uid 0
sudo: fatal error, unable to load plugins
Thanks.
did you try the commands without sudo? usually this is not needed as root user.
Do you have a backup?

The reboot command worked without sudo. But after this permission mess, Nextcloud crashed. Unfortunately, I don’t have a backup

does it change your entire file system to be owned by DietPi user?

How can i check that?
Everything happened after using this command.sudo chown -R dietpi: /mnt/dietpi_userdata/samba
The file permissions of the top directory are as follows.
root@DietPi:/etc# ls -l

Is there a solution? Or should I install DieTpi again?
btw why are you creating a picture of the first output but the second output you do copy/past from SSH session?
Personally, I would prefer copy/past SSH output and to avoid screen prints as much as possible.
I doubt you will be able to restore all permission on all folder as we don’t know which user was owning which folders. That’s nearly impossible to find out. If not too much effort, best to start from scratch.
