Setting the volume as a root user in Docker-Compose prevents Bentoml from accessing it

[aliebrahiiimi]

In target_plots, I want to write some output, but I get a ' Permission denied ' error, which I understand is because when I set the volume in docker-compose, it is set up as a root user, so Bentoml cannot access it. what is the best solution?

I get the following in my Docker container:

bentoml@5a09ef46cbb2:~$ ls -l

Are you using bentoml docker container?

[aliebrahiiimi]

Yes, I changed it to the following and the errors stopped. Thanks for your reply @aarnphm .

docker-compose.yml

version: '3.7'

services:

  bentoml:
    user: root
    build: /home/ali/bentoml/repository/MLServices/1.0.2
    volumes:
      - ./config.ini:/home/bentoml/config.ini
      - ./mofid_stop_word.csv:/home/bentoml/mofid_stop_word.csv
      - ./common_stop_word.csv:/home/bentoml/common_stop_word.csv
      - ./bentoml_configuration.yml:/home/bentoml/bentoml_configuration.yml
      - ./target_plots:/home/bentoml/target_plots
    environment:
      - BENTOML_CONFIG=/home/bentoml/bentoml_configuration.yml
      - mofid_stop_word=/home/bentoml/mofid_stop_word.csv
      - common_stop_word=/home/bentoml/common_stop_word.csv
      - base_output_dir=/home/bentoml/target_plots
      - config_file=/home/bentoml/config.ini

Every bentoml docker containers have a user called bentoml with UID and GID of 1034. This is actually the recommended practice when writing dockerfile since you don't want to always use a container as root user. Is it possible that you can explain your use-case more explicitly?
