Which UID and GID does Crosswatch use in the docker container?

[BartschLabs]

Nice looking solution and good documentation.

One thing I couldn't find in the doc, discussions, or issues is which UID and GID Crosswatch uses in the docker container. I like to put my containers' configs and data on my NAS. The container won't start due to a UID/GID mismatch permission denied error while trying to mkdir /config/sync_reports.

Please tell me which UID and GID Crosswatch uses in the docker container so I can adjust my mount point to use the same UID/GID.

Thanks!

UID/GID used for the app user inside the container
APP_UID: "1000"
APP_GID: "1000"

Can be changed in the contrainer ENV.

appuser:x:1000:1000::/home/appuser:/bin/bash

Optional environment variables

You normally only need TZ, but you can override these:

• CONFIG_BASE — base path for config.json, state.json, statistics.json, etc.
  Default: /config
• WEB_HOST — bind address for the web UI inside the container.
  Default: 0.0.0.0
• WEB_PORT — port for the web UI inside the container.
  Default: 8787
• APP_USER — username created inside the container that runs CrossWatch.
  Default: appuser
• APP_GROUP — group name created inside the container.
  Default: appuser
• APP_UID — numeric UID used for APP_USER (helps match your host user).
  Default: 1000
• APP_GID — numeric GID used for APP_GROUP.
  Default: 1000
• APP_DIR — application directory inside the container.
  Default: /app (usually leave this alone)
• RUNTIME_DIR — runtime/config directory used by the entrypoint.
  Default: /config (normally kept in sync with CONFIG_BASE)
• RELOAD — enable Python auto-reload for development.
  Default: no (set to yes for dev only)

Thanks! I can't believe I missed that in the doc.

I just found that only setting APP_UID and APP_GID won't suffice. I also had to set APP_USER and APP_GROUP.

Nah you didnt missed it. I just added it in the docs. This was indeed important information that was not covered yet.

Hope it works now for you.
