Customise UID/GID

[thomiceli]

Closes #57

Customise UID and GID by changing them via env vars

Also changed mount volume from /root/.opengist to /opengist

@Lyxon1337, @mariushosting Would you mind building the Docker image and try if it could work out for you ?

oh sry forget it...
now i see u allready have this in the image! nice!
tested tag "1.3" and "latest = 1.4.0-dev"

On both i use your example compose from readme.
Both use the old mount path /root/.opengist? dunno (if i try the "new" one -> /opengist always failed.
Both start with given UID GID. But all data in the mapped Fodler are from host-root.
And also the created gist under "/repos" all created from host-root... So it's seems the UID/GID ENVs are not used here.

By the writting i have found a bug... But it's not the solution
it's a typo by the docker/entrypoint

u write:

export USER=opengist
PID=${PID:-1000}
GID=${GID:-1000}
groupmod -o -g "$GID" $USER
usermod -o -u "$PID" $USER

the PID is not the called readme UID :D
But even if i change the ENV from the compose the behavor not change at all (on both versions).

I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something important

I missed the typo.. thanks i will fix it.
However I'm not sure why it fails for you, can you try by building the image yourself (make build_docker) and/or use the last opengist:dev image ? I was messing with the hosted images tags
I will try again to launch an instance from v1.3 and then migrate into v1.4 to see if I encounter sort of bugs.

Actually I can't clearly see why your data is own by root in the host. The env vars UID GID and the new mount path /opengist are used in my instance and everything is working well. Maybe you weren't using the last docker image.
Also what is (/repos) ? It's the opengist folder in your docker host machine ?

new test series :D
install via Portainer v2.18.3
I deleted all old images from opengist :)

Download again the tag latest after looking into the image details the Image layers 7 says VOLUME [/root/.opengist]
Download after this the tag dev and there the Volume is the right -> VOLUME [/opengist]
nice one :)

install test 1 with latest -> UID GID no function all is owned an create from host-root
i create u user and a test gist... User folder spawn into the /repos folder and all are from root (the mapped volume from compose /volume1/docker/00-opengist:/root/.opengist:rw )

install test 2 with dev
after delete all content and container :D
changed the volume to the new one -> /volume1/docker/00-opengist:/opengist:rw
create user and a test gist...
And.. ALL WORKED ! :D noice

The data and the created files are from the choosen user from compose :)
thanks for your fast work! :D
