Can't upload files to libraries v2

I believe this permissions docker image is supposed to be setting the correct permissions:

tutor/templates/local/docker-compose.yml

a6e57b2ce


      
          # Set bind-mounted folder ownership
          permissions:
            image: {{ DOCKER_IMAGE_PERMISSIONS }}
            restart: on-failure
            entrypoint: []
            command: ["sh", "/usr/local/bin/setowners.sh"]
            environment:
              OPENEDX_USER_ID: "1000"
            volumes:
              # Command script
              - ../apps/permissions/setowners.sh:/usr/local/bin/setowners.sh:ro
              # Bind-mounted volumes to set ownership
              - ../../data/lms:/mounts/lms
              - ../../data/cms:/mounts/cms
              - ../../data/openedx-media:/mounts/openedx
              - ../../data/openedx-media-private:/mounts/openedx-private

However, as you can see here, the actual script seems to omit openedx-private from the list of folders that it fixes:

github.com/overhangio/tutor

tutor/templates/apps/permissions/setowners.sh

release

#! /bin/sh
setowner $OPENEDX_USER_ID /mounts/lms /mounts/cms /mounts/openedx
{% if RUN_MEILISEARCH %}setowner 1000 /mounts/meilisearch{% endif %}
{% if RUN_MONGODB %}setowner 999 /mounts/mongodb{% endif %}
{% if RUN_MYSQL %}setowner 999 /mounts/mysql{% endif %}
{% if RUN_REDIS %}setowner 1000 /mounts/redis{% endif %}

{{ patch("local-docker-compose-permissions-command") }}

So I think this is just a bug in Tutor and that setowners.sh may need to be patched to add that additional folder.
