Yeah I also get this. Think it's because the UID/GID mismatches against the native FS. Would be nice to manually set a UID/GID, much like linuxserver.io's containers, -e PUID=1000 -e PGID=1000. Unsure if the underlying PHP image has support for this either.

Indeed, using docker-library/wordpress#256 / docker-library/wordpress#249 as a guide, you should be able to use --user and/or APACHE_RUN_USER/APACHE_RUN_GROUP to control the precise user this image runs as.

Since this appears to be an environmental/permissions issue (not something we can fix in the image itself), I'm going to close. In the future, these sorts of questions/requests would be more appropriately posted to the Docker Community Forums, the Docker Community Slack, or Stack Overflow.

My use case isn’t Wordpress, so changing the default user Apache runs as isn’t a fix?

Surely it’s better to support manually setting PUID/PGID so this container can fit into the rest of the network?

Your use case is Owncloud, which is based on the same base image as Wordpress (and runs in exactly the same way), which is why I linked to issues on the Wordpress repository which should help.

Using --user (a flag directly to docker run to change the user the container runs as) or APACHE_RUN_USER/APACHE_RUN_GROUP is literally "manually setting PUID/PGID", so I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for?

Wrote up some official documentation for the generic PHP image in docker-library/docs#1215. 👍

My apologies @tianon, that makes sense. Ta 💪
