Ghost folder & file permissions

In an ideal world, we’d set the folder permissions to be 774 and the file permissions to be 664 for everything inside a ghost directory:

e.g.

find /path -type d -exec chmod 774 {} \; find /path -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;

For now they have been set to 774 as a shortcut to a good, if not the best, solution.

This would need to be done on initial install, and probably rechecked/rerun on version folders after an install.

Update, after reading through https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-unix-umask-value-usage.html the correct permission for directories is 775. Using 775 on files would make all files executable for every user which is unwanted.

Correct commands:

find /path -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
find /path -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;

After some testing with the new permission checks, it turned out that Ghost itself creates files with a 644 permission (e. g. log files). We decided to change the checks and allow 644 and 665 for files, and 775 and 755 for directories. The recommendation to the user is - in both cases - to change it to the stricter one.
