Hello there,
Thank you for the pointers.
I tried using :U (with Z - :U,Z) and that didn't do the trick.
I also tried using --userns=keep-id, and that also didn't work.
I tried following
https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/troubleshooting.md#33-cont...
and I must admit, while the sample works, I don't understand it enough to translate it
to my use case (and it is quite unwieldy). I have a really hard time wrapping my head
around what is going on with --uidmap 2003:0:1 (set the user inside the container to map
to uid 0 (root?) on the host ?) and another --uidmap 2004:2004:65536 (set the user 20004
onwards to map to uid 2004 on the host)?
This is the exact container/volume that I'm having trouble with:
$ mkdir gogs
$ podman run -v ./gogs:/data docker.io/gogs/gogs
The user `git` inside the container has uid 1000, and is mapped to uid 100999 outside the
container. In the end, ./gogs is owned by 100999.
