Changing the permissions of /var/lib/docker and subdirectories etc

Hi Folks,

Issue type = OS File/Directory Permissions
OS Version/build = RHEL 7.9 / Docker 1.13.1

This is my first post, so sorry if I’m breaking any rules here.

We’ve had an IT Healthcheck run on a Server running Docker and it has thrown up a couple perceived issues.

They do not like the World Writable directories & files existing within /var/lib/docker/containers.

They also do not like the fact that there are files within /var/lib/docker/overlay2 that are ungrouped - ie do not have a host group assigned, just a gid.

So my simple question is - what is yours and dockers view on people changing the permissions/owners of files and directories stored within /var/lib/docker?

Cheers,
Stu
