So whenever a directory in the path to the volume that should go into my
container is not browseable by my uid (although my group can!) I cannot
mount it as a volume.
debug logs won't give any further info.
Why do I want to do that?
I have userdirectories that are purely used as chroots for SFTP through
sshd. Thus they *must* be root owned, but group readable/listable, so
the root of the chroot can't be overwritten. See sshd_config for more
details.
Now I'd like to run containers as the particular user, operating on some
directories within that chroot path.
By default these chroot-directories are setup with 0750 and thus failing
in my case.
While 0755 might still be an option/workaround, I am wondering what the
reason for that requirement is?
It looks like a bug to me. Shall I open an issue, but where?
