1. Docker-Compose of Airlow is not production ready. You should use it only for development and testing, if you want more production setup I recommend to use the official Helm Chart of the communiy: https://airflow.apache.org/docs/helm- chart/stable/index.html and K8S. 2. If you mount your local folders as volumes to Airlfow, you should make sure that you use your HOST_ID as user_id and GID=0 as user. This is very clear in the "Initialize the environment section of the docker compose" https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/start/docker.html#initializing-environment quick start documentation. Apparently you mised that step. so let me copy it here (you need to run it once in the host in the directory where you have docker compose. ``` echo -e "AIRFLOW_UID=$(id -u)\nAIRFLOW_GID=0" > .env ``` How it works - it changes the user that is used by Airflow to be the same as your host user, and sets the group ID to be 0 (which is the best practice followed from OpenShift to make possible to run container image as an arbitrary user). 3. No other configuration is supported for docker compose when you mount your local folder on linux. This is is a Docker limitation, not airflow nor image limitation. Airflow image is defined according to best practices of OpenShift and allows to run as arbitrary user id (, but when you mount local volume from host, the user from your host volume is an owner. There are various ways YOU can deal with the problem when you run the container (one of the solutions is the very one that Airlfow proposes - where you can define and use HOST UID and GID=0 to run the image. You can read more here: https://airflow.apache.org/docs/docker-stack/entrypoint.html#allowing-arbitrary-user-to-run-the-container 3. The solution you copied is to manually build image and there manually your UID as the user. Which (obviously) cannot be done in the public image, because we do not know your user id when we prepare the image and each user has a different UID. It's just impossible. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
