[FEAT] Ramdisk for logs lacking folder ownership for non-root user

[Zer0PointModule]

Is this a new feature request?

• I have searched the existing issues

Wanted change

I have a small nitpick especially when it comes to using ram disks

Plex is rather spammy with logs and even with as much logging disabled as possible it still writes quite a lot to the log file, if someone were to mount a ramdisk to the logs folder (/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Logs) that would reduce IO, but unfortunately the ramdisk has default ownership of root:root with 770 permissions.

It would be nice if on boot we would make sure the permissions are set correctly on this folder and if not change ownership, that way things would be easier for people preferring ram disks for their log folder.

Reason for change

Reduce disk usage while running plex as much as possible to conserve the lifetime of the disks that it uses.

You can set the IDs of tmpfs. https://docs.docker.com/engine/storage/tmpfs/#options-for---tmpfs

Thanks,

This is great for when you have full control over all docker options, I can manage with this and it will work indeed, however if you use wrappers around docker like for example synology / truenas / ... you don't always have access to configure this.

I understand this is extremely niche, but it would be a quality of life improvement to make sure it's chowned properly on boot of the container.

Which I thought it would do here:
https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex/blob/master/root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-plex-chown/run

lsiown -R abc:abc \ /config/Library

But the ramdisk remains root:root

Realistically our main aim for support is using docker compose, which while those platforms you mention, all of them can run docker compose so I don't think we need to add anything.
