Permission denied when mounting Docker volume in OSX

Question

I\'m at my wit\'s end with this, so hopefully you folks can help me. In OSX 10.11.2 with docker-machine, I\'ve got a docker-compose file that should build a local Dockerfile

Answer 1

The issue this comes from is the userids used by Mac and Linux respectively. Mac does not like Linux wanting to use the 1 for the userID.

The way I worked around all the permissions craziness in my mac + docker-machine setup is to use this Dockerfile

FROM mysql:5.6

RUN usermod -u 1000 mysql
RUN mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld
RUN chmod -R 777 /var/run/mysqld

Instead of the plain MySQL 5.6 Image.

The last 2 lines are necessary, because changing the userid for the mysql user will mess up the build in permissions for that image. => you need the 777 permissions to make it run here :/

I know this is a little hacky, but so far the best solution I know to the permissions issue here.
