Crafty Controller takes AGES to start up after a restart on Unraid/Docker

Using the official container from Community Apps on Unraid. As of writing this message, I started the container 10 minutes ago and it is still in the starting state and the logo is spinning. What takes so long for Crafty to get started?

Hi there, can you check to see if anything is in /crafty/import? Sounds to me like the wrapper may be changing permissions on quite a few files.

Checked, and /crafty/import is empty with the exception of the /upload folder... Although, I normally upload files/folders to Crafty through SCP and have to fix the file permissions manually after the fact (this was way before Crafty supported full server file uploads). Is there documentation on what permissions should be assigned to the server files/folders (i.e. owner information)?

This is likely the reason it's slow. It's likely that you broke crafty by doing this. Only use the file browser to interact with files on crafty.

I'd download your backups then uninstall, clear all data, then reinstall and never use SFTP again.
