What Are the Final Production File Permissions for Magento 2.0.6

Question

pretty much what the title says

the link at the bottom of this page http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/install/cli/install-cli-install.html

for file permissions doesnt work

there is something about file permissions in the update

I fish out what the link goes to and i guess it is supposed to go here

http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/prereq/file-system-perms.html

where this is documentation on shared hosting, and dual user hosting, but i run a private server, and the documentation has 0 to go on even though it says there is a spot on that page for it

Answer 1

Starting with Magento 2.0.6, Magento provides a more flexible way for you to set file ownership and permissions. Instead of setting permissions explicitly, you only need to make sure files and directories are writable for installation.

Basically, it depends on umask of your system. By default, the umask is 002, which means that directories have 775 permissions and files have 664 permissions.

But from Magento 2.0.6, you can set YOUR OWN directory & file permission by creating a file name magento_umask inside your Magento root.

For eg: I want Magento directories have 755 permissions and files have 644 permission, I will put 022 into my magento_umask
