Say I have a short-lived container that creates a file inside an attached volume. Most off-the-shelf images run stuff as root in containers, so unless I do extra stuff in the container the file ends up owned by root on the host. I want that file owned by me.

Run container as specific user

docker run has a --user argument that allows forcing a specific uid/gid of the first process started in the container. This seems to work in some cases. For example:

host$ mkdir dockTmp
host$ docker run -u $UID:$(id -g) -v $(pwd)/dockTmp:/tmp/dockTmp --rm -it ubuntu:16.04 /bin/bash
groups: cannot find name for group ID 1000

Keybase proof

I hereby claim:

I am meonkeys on github.
I am meonkeys (https://keybase.io/meonkeys) on keybase.
I have a public key whose fingerprint is D800 2DF2 8E00 B0E7 66F6 9BF8 9B5D 993F 836F 29C0

To claim this, I am signing this object:

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
