Verified issue does not already exist?

What happened?

Creating a docker container using the NFS driver results in the following error: Failed to deploy a stack: compose up operation failed: Error response from daemon: failed to chmod on /var/lib/docker/volumes/finance/_data: chmod /var/lib/docker/volumes/finance/_data: operation not permitted

docker-compose.yml

services:
  actual:
    image: actualbudget/actual-server:latest
    container_name: actual
    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.http.routers.actual.rule=Host(`[[REDACTED]]`)
      - traefik.http.routers.actual.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt
      - traefik.http.routers.actual.entrypoints=websecure
      - traefik.http.services.actual.loadbalancer.server.port=5006
      - traefik.docker.network=traefik_proxy
    volumes:
      - finance:/data
    networks:
      - default
      - traefik_proxy
    environment:
      - ACTUAL_TRUSTED_PROXIES=172.21.0.0/16
    healthcheck:
      # Enable health check for the instance
      test: ['CMD-SHELL', 'node src/scripts/health-check.js']
      interval: 60s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 20s
    restart: unless-stopped

networks:
  default:
  traefik_proxy:
    name: traefik_proxy
    external: true

volumes:
  finance:
    external: true

Even when creating a user on the host with the UID 1001 I get the same error.

Looks like it's possibly due to this inside of sync-server.Dockerfile:

RUN mkdir /data && chown -R ${USERNAME}:${USERNAME} /data

How can we reproduce the issue?

Create a docker container using a volume that uses the NFS driver

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Other

Operating System

Linux

NFS and sqlite don't play well so you should try to use a different file share than NFS. It would be better to use some sort of synced folder vs a shared folder.

Ah yeah, that's fair. I'll just add a bind mount to the jail I'm running docker in the, thanks!
