-When starting the containers for the first time, you will get permissions errors for the data volume, like this one:
-
-```
-Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/data/logs'
-```
-
-The peertube user inside the container has a UID and GID of 991 so you have to change the folder's owner, in the case you're using `./data`:
-
-```
-chown -R 991:991 data/
-```
-
 **Important**: note that you'll get the initial `root` user password from the
 program output, so check out your logs to find them.
