Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/matze/wastebin/issues/56

So im trying to get wastebin running using docker compose. the main part im having trouble with is trying to make the data base writable. i tried running these commands to make the data base file writable, but all have failed

chmod 755 data/
sudo chown 10001 ./data/
sudo chmod 644 ./data/

trying to run docker compose up -d to get it up, but it wouldnt start and the logs would report that the database was read only.
can I know the proper command in order to get this up and running?

I personally don't use docker compose but could it be that 10001 is not the correct user?

im not sure, i was just following the default docker compose you gave. and there was a note saying "make sure ./data is writable by user 10001."

i tried just looking up how to make a folder writable by a certain user, and the sudo chown command was what i did

I did not write those instructions but perhaps @NiFNi can help out :-)

The UID in the Dockerfile is 10001 as you can see here: github.com/matze/wastebin@f13fcd077b/Dockerfile (L10)
Permissions like this work for me:

In case the database file is already created make sure it is also owned by 10001. Best is to just run these commands to get the default permissions:

chmod 755 data
chmod 644 data/state.db
chown -R 10001:10001 data

One hint: keep in mind that a user needs executable permissions of a folder to view the content of the folder in UNIX systems. So the user 10001 has to have the read+executable permission of the data folder and the read+write permissions of the state.db file which will be achieved by the commands above.
