Run in docker with random user id - Wineprefix problems

[magick93]

Hello

I am trying to run wine in a docker image on OpenShift. And for security reasons OpenShift does not allow docker containers to run using root. Instead they run as a random UID.

When the container starts, the application fails to start, and errors with:

Code: Select all

<wineprefix> is not owned by you, refusing to create a configuration directory there

As far as I understand, there can only be one owner. And at runtime its impossible to know which user will be in use.

Does the wineprefix directory have to be owned by the current user? Or is it acceptable to have write permissions?

What options are available for this situation?

Thanks

Yes.

You can fool Wine with a symlink to the wineprefix

For example, I use symlinks to install games system wide
