Ownership of bound folders change upon starting containers from Compose

Docker Engine Compose
1

i decided i want my own user on my raspberry pi and moved my containers from Raspbian’s default user pi to my user newpiuser.

now some containers aren’t functioning properly anymore, for example, nzbget and transmission seem unable to write to their volumes, freshrss and plex are functioning properly. and sabnzbd is unavailable on its port 8080

after moving the folders to their new home and running sudo chown -R newpiuser:newpiuser Downloads/ .freshrss/ .nzbget/ .sabnzbd/ .transmission/ and running docker-compose up -d from my own user newpiuser. for some reason, the ownership of all volumes get changed back to Raspbian’s default user pi.

For what your try to solve, the output of ls -l (or it’s alias ll) is worth nothing without the -n option. If owners user and group id are not 1000, you either need to chown the folder OR use the correct UID/GID in your docker-compose environment variables.

Awesome, thank you @meyay! It should’ve been 1001! This literally fixed it all :smiley:
