Comment on [HELP] How to fork a docker image?
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 days agoBasically this:
docker run -it --user $UID:$GID
Pass it a user and group that have the appropriate access, and no more. You can also set this in Docker compose or whatever other abstraction you’re using.

so, in this case, the internal user is peertube with UID 999.
would i then use that UID, and the GID of the passed render device?

Passing that in basically overrides the [USER field in the Dockerfile](docker run -it --user $UID:$GID). Make sure that user/group combo has access to the render device.

lol i can't believe this just worked. XD
falls over i've spent MONTHS on this. XD
i just didn't think i had that level of control. i kept reading that even if the IDs match it's not REALLY the same as the host permissions, but this worked just fine. a much simpler solution.
well, thank you for that! still so much to learn.

No prob! Glad you got it to work, permissions can be a huge pain.
