Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/dbeaver/cloudbeaver/issues/1141

Describe the bug

Docker image creates files as root in mounted directory. That prevents me from modifying the content of the default configuration after it's created by the container (as my IDE is running as non-root).

To Reproduce

# Start in an empty directory
mkdir workspace

cat > docker-compose.yaml<< EOF
services:
  cloudbeaver:
    image: dbeaver/cloudbeaver:22.2.0
    # user: "1001:1001"
    environment:
      - CB_SERVER_NAME="CloudBeaver local server"
      - CB_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8081
      - CB_ADMIN_NAME=cbadmin
      - CB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password
    ports:
      - 8081:8978
    volumes:
      - ./workspace:/opt/cloudbeaver/workspace
EOF

docker compose up
# Give it a few seconds to spin up...
# Ctrl+C when you see a log saying "[main] INFO  org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server - Started JettyServer"

The output of ls -al workspace now is:

total 24
drwxr-xr-x 6 user user 4096 Sep 10 23:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4096 Sep 10 23:10 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root     root     4096 Sep 10 23:11 .data
drwxr-xr-x 4 root     root     4096 Sep 10 23:11 .metadata
drwxr-xr-x 4 root     root     4096 Sep 10 23:11 .work-data
drwxr-xr-x 3 root     root     4096 Sep 10 23:11 GlobalConfiguration

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows running on WSL2 (Ubuntu 20.04)
Version: 22.2.0

Additional context

When I try running the container as a non-root user (i.e. uncomment # user line in docker-compose.yaml file) - the application fails to start with the following error:

cloudbeaver-1  | Starting Cloudbeaver Server
cloudbeaver-1  | <title>Invalid Configuration Location</title>The configuration area at '/opt/cloudbeaver/?/.eclipse/248865309_linux_gtk_x86_64/configuration' could not be created.  Please choose a writable location using the '-configuration' command line option.
cloudbeaver-1 exited with code 15

An obvious workaround is to chown files that I'd like to modify in my IDE. I'm wondering if there's any easier way to make it work (e.g. make the container run as a non-root user).

@mjarosie
before container starts you must build your own image with an user inside.
Create Dockerfile which contains:

FROM dbeaver/cloudbeaver:22.2.0
RUN groupadd cloudbeaver
RUN useradd -ms /bin/bash -g cloudbeaver cloudbeaver
RUN chown -R cloudbeaver ./
USER cloudbeaver

In next step change your compose file:

remove

    image: dbeaver/cloudbeaver:22.2.0

   
    build:
      context: .

Search additional information about build here

Now you can run compose
