I’m having some problems installing Vaultwarden and I wonder if it because I’m running docker compose in the wrong way and there are user permission issues.
What is the right way of installing docker compose (on a linux VM)? In in the past I would create a docker folder /home/user/docker. In there I would create the folder firefly or whatever and then I would run docker compose as user. So, when installing firefly, I would be in the /home/user/docker/firefly and run docker compose from within. Not as root (using sudo) but as a the normal user user. Firefly service would just run without problmes. Shoudl I be installing containers this way of shoudl I be using root (sudo)?
that is fine, the only requirement AFAIK is the user being in the docker group in case you’re having permission issues running it as user
Also, keep in mind that the
dockergroup effectively grants root access.The account can then mount any file or directory into a container and do whatever it wants.
Of course, i forgot to mention, that user is in the docker grp. I was just thinking that maybe, as the data folders/volumes for the containers were saved in the user home directory, there may be read/write issues foe the various containers.
Likewise, i was worried that if installing/running a sensitive service like Vaultwarden with sudo exposed me to risks.
