Hi Dave,I tested the ACL command, as you suggested, and it worked when docker container was turned off, but when I lauched pgadmin, it reset the folder permissions again.
Could you consider, in future versions, to give access to host user to //var/lib/pgadmin/storage/ folder? For example, other files and folders (e.g. sessions and pgadmin4.db) could be restricted, but storage, as a folder to user files, could have read and execute permissions in order to host user be able to access it.
Thank you for your help. Best regards, Rodrigo On 22/10/2021 06:31, Dave Page wrote:

Nautilus is the file manager to Ubuntu. Ah, OK. I updated my image to dpage/pgadmin4:6.0 in order to avoid old versions. I add a new volume and I executed the chown command (i.e. sudo chown -R 5050:5050 <host_directory>). I tried to add my user to 5050 group, but it did not work, because when pgadmin4 Docker container is executed, it allows just 5050 user to edit the folder and not other ones from the same group (i.e. *drwx------*). *drwx------* is the default permission that pgadmin4 Docker container gives to volume it creates, in other words, just 5050 user can edit the volume data, not other ones, even if that user belongs to 5050 group.OK, now I understand what you mean. Yes, when pgAdmin launches, it'll check the directories it needs, and always tries to fix the permissions to ensure they're secure (i.e. 0700 permissions).You might be able to use the extended ACL to work around that, e.g. setfacl -Rm u:rodrigo:rwX,d:u:rodrigo:rwX <host_directory>I believe that will recursively give you permissions on the directory on the host (assuming your username is rodrigo), and set it up so permissions are inherited. You may need to ensure your host filesystem is mounted with the 'acl' option.Thank you.

I've never used Docker Compose though. / Have you ever tried to create a volume to //var/lib/pgadmin/storage/ folder using newer image versions and you were able to access it via host in the nautilus? Using plain Docker. I have no idea what "the nautilus" is, but yes, I've mapped /var/lib/pgadmin to the host many times (including 30 seconds ago with 6.1), and it works fine. As long as appropriate permissions are set on the directory on the host, I can access it from there as well. If you have, how could I do that? As you suggested, you could add yourself to the 5050 group, and ensure the directory on the host is group readable. I did not have this kind of issue with older versions of pgadmin4 Docker image (e.g. /dpage/pgadmin4:4.15/), this issue has started with recent images that I need to change folder permission to 5050:5050 (e.g. /dpage/pgadmin4:5.4/). 4.15 is very old. We've long since had additional checks in pgAdmin to ensure that we can successfully write to the storage directory, and to stop running the processes in the container as root that was a) quite dangerous and b) could allow it to override permissions on the host. In particular, you're probably hitting the issue mentioned in the callout box at the top of https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/6.1/release_notes_4_16.html <https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/6.1/release_notes_4_16.html> Thank you.

If my default user and group is /rodrigo:rodrigo/, how could my default user access a folder that belongs to another one (i.e. /5050:5050/)? The pgAdmin processes in the container run under uid 5050, gid 5050. As far as I know, I cannot access a folder that belongs to other user normally. Maybe should I add my default user (i.e. /rodrigo/) to pgadmin group (i.e. /5050/)? I've never needed to do that with plain Docker or Kubernetes. I've never used Docker Compose though. If I should, I believe this information could be written on the documentation. Thank you.
