Questions about docker -v not working --> /srv/monero/chain:/home/monero/.bitmonero

Dockerfile

https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/Dockerfile

When I execute the following command

docker run -it --restart always --name monero -v /srv/monero/chain:/home/monero/.bitmonero -v /srv/monero/wallet:/wallet --privileged=true monero

Exception in main! boost::filesystem::create_directory: Permission denied: "/home/monero/.bitmonero/lmdb"

Next, I added -u root:root

docker run -it -u root:root --restart always --name monero -v /srv/monero/chain:/home/monero/.bitmonero -v /srv/monero/wallet:/wallet --privileged=true monero

successful

But there are no files in the /srv/monero/chain directory

I think this is a problem I have with docker, I am a docker newbie and it has nothing to do with monero

Solution

  • step 1:

    docker run -it -u root --rm -v /srv/monero/chain:/home/monero/.bitmonero -v /srv/monero/wallet:/wallet -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --entrypoint=/bin/chown monero -R monero:monero /home/monero/.bitmonero

    step 2:

    docker run -itd --restart always --name monero --network net-1 --network-alias monero -v /srv/monero/chain:/home/monero/.bitmonero -v /srv/monero/wallet:/wallet -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --privileged=true monero
