Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

Would like to be able to configure the user and group Actual runs under within Docker for improved security and volume mount file permissions.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Support PUID and PGID arguments from Docker as standardized by linuxserver.io: https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/understanding-puid-and-pgid/

Teaching and learning

Update Configuring the Server documentation ( https://actualbudget.org/docs/config/ ) with new PUID and PGID environment variables.

You can kind of achieve that by passing --user PUID:PGID, or by using the user directive inside compose file. Just would need to create the root config dir manually first (or chown and restart container).

This should definitely happen. If you create new files, even with PUID and PGID defined, the new files will be owned by root and the new files have to be chown'd. Not ideal.

And you can just configure your compose.yaml to run as the user needed: user: 1000:1000.
