Hi,

I think this would break the feature in case a file needs to be writable (e.g. config/config.ini.php) as I think only directories are changed.

I see. What about something like this?

chmod -R a+rw /path ; find /path -type d -exec chmod a+x {} \;

chmod -R a+rw /path to give all files and directories read and write permission for all users.
find /path -type d -exec chmod a+x {} \; to give all directories execute permission for all users (since folders need execute to traverse).

This way the command won't alter any execute permission for files. Does Matomo require any files with execute permission?

Files still need to be writable too or not (so they can be deleted during update etc)?

@taylankasap are you still working on this PR please let us know. This will help us to know whether we can otherwise close the issue and whether we should work on a solution or not.
