Could you change this a bit so this here works, I hope this would solve all problems with Docker:
Example:

FROM ubuntu

ARG USER_ID
ARG GROUP_ID

RUN addgroup --gid $GROUP_ID user
RUN adduser --disabled-password --gecos '' --uid $USER_ID --gid $GROUP_ID user
USER user

Because then we could use somthing like this when building the docker:
--build-arg USER_ID=$(id -u)
--build-arg GROUP_ID=$(id -g) .

To get the correct user for everything.

No need to use “chown”, and no annoying permission errors anymore!

Here is the link where I got this from: here

[MrBrax]

what about the built in node user that the node image creates?

[Serph91P]

The build in node user kinda blocks writing to files externaly. Like if I want to change a json because TA crashed or so. I have to connect to the docker and change it from there and cannot user for exanple windows go to this location and change the json because it says access denied. Also cannot create or copy files to it.

[MrBrax]

externally the data folder should be owned by 1000:1000, if you have an user/group with those id's, it should be able to write i think

[MrBrax]

also this would require cloning it yourself and building it for your platform, right? going via dockerhub wouldn't work

[MrBrax]

when fetching from dockerhub you don't build anything afaik, you download the images the bot built, and as such you can't modify the build process yourself with args

[Serph91P]

You shure about that? Because then Iam asking myself how would these changes then be implemented, because I can change these and see the difference. For example a port or smth.

This is from a Downloader on Unraid.

[MrBrax]

environment variables and mounts can be set, but you're never building anything. the build happens on github servers way before you download it, by which point the only thing that gets executed on your end when starting it is "yarn run start"

[MrBrax]

umask/puid/pgid must be something unraid specific, because i can't remember putting in such a thing anywhere

[Serph91P]

hmmm its linux specific. Will have another look at it.

[MrBrax]

also, for the created permissions, i think i read that the host os always handles the permissions, so when you mount a folder to the docker container, it retains the same permissions within. i no longer run chown/chmod on the data directory, so it should keep the same ones throughout.
