Unaccessible file mounts with VirtualBox

[elmar-hinz]

Another case related to access rights (Dinghy 4.5.0)

eval $(dinghy env)
export DINGHY_HOST_MOUNT_DIR=/Volumes/
export DINGHY_GUEST_MOUNT_DIR=/Volumes/

When I log in with dinghy ssh I find /Users/ElmarHinz mapped to root:root and those directories are mountable. /Volumes is mapped to the user 501:80 and is not mountable.

On my local machine both directories have the same user and group settings.

UPDATE: In another try /Users/ElmarHinz changed to 501:80, too, while I was browsing the directory.

My startup script:

https://github.com/elmar-hinz/TYPO3.docker-development/blob/master/run.sh

There is no error, but the directories are not mounted. (The script works with docker-for-mac).

Possible solution

My other Vagrant based VirtualBox sets /Volumes/ to root:root basically proving the issue is solvable.

    6             #################
    5             # NFS
    4             #################
    3             config.vm.synced_folder "#{mount['src']}",
    2                 "#{mount['target']}",
    1                 :nfs => { :mount_options => [ "dmode=775", "fmode=774" ] }

I don't know what it does different. Maybe it the trick to write to /etc/exports. Maybe the alldirs mapall parameters are OS X special. I don't find them documented for unfsd.

 # VAGRANT-BEGIN: 501 0e101423-03fe-4b72-98ad-b0745111e9d8
 "/Users/ElmarHinz" 192.168.56.2 -alldirs -mapall=501:20
 "/Volumes/Work" 192.168.56.2 -alldirs -mapall=501:20
 # VAGRANT-END: 501 0e101423-03fe-4b72-98ad-b0745111e9d8

(I did remove those lines and recreated dinghy to check troubles are not caused by them.)

Right now Dinghy only supports NFS mounting one directory at a time, if you use DINGHY_HOST_MOUNT_DIR to change the mount dir to /Volumes that means /Users/ElmarHinz will no longer be NFS shared. Am I understanding correctly that is what is going on?

Also I suspect a problem here:

eval $(dinghy env)
export DINGHY_HOST_MOUNT_DIR=/Volumes/
export DINGHY_GUEST_MOUNT_DIR=/Volumes/

It looks like you're exporting those env vars after dinghy is already running, which means they aren't taking effect. dinghy up needs to see those env vars.
