Run as particular user

[luke-barnett]

By default this seems to be running as the root user, and so creates permissions just for root.

I'm wanting to then sync backup files remotely which requires that a different user is given access to the backed up files. Can we get this so we can specify the user to run the duplicity commands as?

I have never tried this. The alpine base image has a script for this. I can try to hook this up.

Okay I have tried this but It's not possible. Whereas duplicity is able to run under a specific user, jobber is not able to not run under root.

I will have to replace jobber with crow in order to achieve this.

I was facing the same issue today.
I found another solution to make the backup files accessible for synchronization programs.

You can automatically execute a script after the backup was performed which will adjust the file permissions.

Add a Script with the following content:

#!/bin/bash 
echo "Post Execute" 
chmod -R a+rw /backup

This will change the permissions for all files located in the backup folder of the docker container.

This script can then be mounted to the container via the following volume:

-v <localePathToScript>:/postexecute/backup
