App Edits File Permissions Every Time It Starts

Q: Date/Time this occurred (Provide your time zone also)
A: Anytime

Q: DevKinsta Version
A: 2.13.5

Q: OS Version
A: Ubuntu 24.04

Q: Docker Desktop Version
A: N/A, but docker engine version is 27.3.1

Q: Were any error codes or messages observed? If so, what were they?
A: No

Q: Detailed Description of the Problem
A: Every time DevKinsta app starts, it runs a recursive chmod command on the entire public directory. It uses sudo for the command requiring me to input password every time. But really that’s not the issue. The issue is that its messing with file permissions like that at all. I don’t want the file permissions in my directory touched. One of my themes is a github repo and the directory has over 50,000 files. So every time I start DevKinsta and allow it to run the chmod command that pops up, I have to then go and revert all the changes with git.

Hi @lots0logs

Welcome to the Kinsta Community.

Thank you for your report. I tested the issue on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS running on VirtualBox, and I was able to replicate the behavior you described. I will forward this information to our DevKinsta Developer team, and we will update you as soon as we have more details. However, please note that we cannot provide an estimated timeframe for when this will be resolved.

Best,
