Feature request : docker : set PUID and PGID in environment

[pcl94]

I'm using filebot on docker platform, as done by linuxserver team for containers, can you implement some environment variables like :
- PUID=1234
- PGID=56789

So this should cause file created (artworks, folder, etc...) on the host created / updated by this user id.
For now, all is created under "root" user.

As I understand they have a "abc" user into their image, and they update the UID and GID on startup of the container.
Something like this :

Code: Select all

#update foo user/group
usermod -u 2005 foo
groupmod -g 3000 foo
#update user/group of previous user/group ids
find /data -group 2000 -exec chgrp -h foo {} \;
find /data -user 1005 -exec chown -h foo {} \;

vote for me

Does the --user option not do this?

I'm happy to accept a PR if someone has the use case and expertise to improve upon the existing docker files:

Unfortunately no. I'm using only docker compose and this option is not available in it.

I may take a look, but I'm not an expert.
Anyone else?
