General Question about the Installation

@BS487

So as far as i understand, all containers are run as root by default. The user inside the container is detached from the kernel if not specified otherwise.

Yes, the “users” running the processes in the container don’t have anything in common with the users on the host system. That is not the kernel though

@BS487

but if docker is creating the folder/volume, it should work right

Yes, exactly.

thanks for your reply. Unfortunately even if docker creates the folder/volume it still has permissions issues with db

I think something must be off in our os then. Maybe i made a mistake earlier already that affects this somehow. I will try to reinstall the whole os and let docker-compose do its thing.

Does it work if you run a standalone db container? Something like docker run -p 3306:3306 -v /tmp/db:/var/lib/mysql mariadb?

Hi Kolaente,

thanks for your reply. it turned out, my os was the problem all along. Probably too advanced for a linux beginner. I started everything on an ubuntu server and its working fine now, but i learned a lot along the way. Thanks for your help!
