[Koha-devel] koha-testing-docker startup gotcha...

[David Schmidt]

what I like to do to always have matching UIDs

##########
##########

# Dockerfile
ARG CONTAINER_UID=1000
RUN useradd --create-home --home-dir /home/hks3 \
            --uid $CONTAINER_UID --user-group --shell /bin/bash hks3

# building container
docker-compose build --build-arg CONTAINER_UID=`id -u`

##########
##########

now the ids always match.


cheers

It also means that I cloned that git repo and do my checkouts with the “root” user in koha-testing-docker (not as my normal user on a Docker host like you would do if you were using Linux as your workstation). So “root” owns my “koha” git directory, which causes koha-testing-docker to fail to startup.
