I am trying to use docker’s user namespaces
feature using the official documentation here
I have added the configuration to my daemon.json file like
{
"debug":true,
"experimental": false,
"features":{"buildkit": false},
"userns-remap":"default"
}
I also verified that both subuid
and subguid
in /etc contain the following entries
dhost:100000:65536
dockremap:165536:65536
I built my image to verify the functionality using an alpine:latest like so
FROM alpine:latest
RUN mkdir -p /root/.cache
WORKDIR /app
command used in building the image docker image build -t myimage:1 .
Then I run a container from this image using
docker container run -it --rm --name mycontainer -v "$(pwd)/test:/app" myimage:1 sh
I get access to the workdir inside the container (app) but I cannot touch/create any file without getting permission denied. Do I need to change the owner of the test directory I used to mount? if yes, who should own it?
