Thank you, all!
hey all!
i need some guidance. can you help point me in the right direction?
there a docker image that is basically fine, except i just want to add a group to it so that group will exist in the container.
how do i do this? is there a way to do this that will just pull the original image as is, so it will update when the original image updates, and then just add the group i need?
thanks in advance!
so, in this case, the internal user is peertube with UID 999.
would i then use that UID, and the GID of the passed render device?
Passing that in basically overrides the [USER field in the Dockerfile](docker run -it --user $UID:$GID). Make sure that user/group combo has access to the render device.
lol i can’t believe this just worked. XD
falls over i’ve spent MONTHS on this. XD i am LITERALLY completely embarrassed now. XD
i just didn’t think i had that level of control. i kept reading that even if the IDs match it’s not REALLY the same as the host permissions, but this worked just fine. a much simpler solution.
well, thank you for that! still so much to learn.
No prob! Glad you got it to work, permissions can be a huge pain.
