            @caw you are using docker on synology

            so you have to be careful about permissions

            the docker container is running as user 1000
            but you probably created the folder with your synology userid,
            so you need to grant permission
            for other to read/write the folder and/or pictures

            sudo chmod -R xx6 folder_name

            xx means find out current and use those for user and group

            ls -laF

            will list the permissions, user and group for this directory and files
