Permission error when using custom USER_ID and GROUP_ID

[webysther]

I got this infinite restart when using custom USER_ID and GROUP_ID:

services:
  tor:
    image: ghcr.io/domistyle/docker-tor-browser:14.5.7
    container_name: app-tor
    env_file: ../tor/.env
    networks:
      - tor
    ports:
      - 127.0.0.1:5801:5800
    restart: unless-stopped

networks:
  tor:

I had a look at this and it looks like the app user is created in one of the base image layers on which this project sits. It is used to do some stuff and then you are coming along and changing it to a different id and group. The app user can no longer access half of its files and everything starts failing with permission problems.

I suppose as a work around you inherit from ours and modify the user id/group and change the owner ship of everything they own.

I couldn't find a solution in about 2 hours of trying. So we'll leave this here for the next pandemic ;)
