Docker-compose set user and group on mounted volum

问题:

I'm trying to mount a volume in docker-compose to apache image. The problem is, that apache in my docker is run under www-data:www-data but the mounted directory is created under root:root. How can I specify the user of the mounted directory?

I tried to run command setupApacheRights.sh. chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www but it says chown: changing ownership of '/var/www/somefile': Permission denied

services:
    httpd:
        image: apache-image
        ports:
            - "80:80"
        volumes:
            - "./:/var/www/app"
        links:
            - redis
        command: /setupApacheRights.sh

I would prefer to be able to specify the user under which it will be mounted. Is there a way?

回答1:

First determine the uid of the www-data user:

$ docker exec DOCKER_CONTAINER_ID id
uid=100(www-data) gid=101(www-data) groups=101(www-data)

Then, on your docker host, change the owner of the mounted directory using the uid (100 in this example):

chown -R 100 ./

Dynamic Extension

If you are using docker-compose you may as well go for it like this:

$ docker-compose exec SERVICE_NAME id
uid=100(www-data) gid=101(www-data) groups=101(www-data)
$ chown -R 100 ./

You can put that in a one-liner:

$ chown -r $(docker-compose exec SERVICE_NAME id -u) ./

The -u flag will only print the uid to stdout.

If you're using Docker, you want this directly in your config rather than performing manual steps every time you build an image. The bad news is there's no owner/group/permission settings for volume as of 2019
