From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Confused about permissions changing because of ¿dockman? (lemmy.ml)

tl;dr: dockman changing permissions of /docker an I don't like it. Is it normal? Am I a control freak?

I've been using Linux for years, but always at a user level. Since last year I started tinkering, since I wanted to get out of big tech dependency. Now I'm running a modest home server and it's been great so far.

The problem I'm facing right now is that the number or docker containers grew up to a point where I thought of using a manager of sorts. Dockman feels good enough for me but it keeps changing permissions of the docker folder to root:root, so I keep getting pushed out.

I guess makes sense that, if I manage everything from Dockman, it would take control, but I really don't like that I can't manage permissions of folders on my server or PC and delegating that to a mere docker manager.

Thoughts on this?

Can you clarify the WHAT here? What is in /docker, your volume mounts, or your layers and internals?

Also, how are you running it? Local process, or in a container itself?

[–] Beardedleftist@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

In /docker I have just the yml and .env files. All the data is on an external volume, docker runs as a local process and Dockman is a container (not sure if this is what you asked, sorry).

I tried dockge yesterday and I think it does not change permissions, haven't had time to really check. I just want to select and x number or containers and click update lol until now I had to get into every folder and docker compose pull.
