Symbolic link owner problem

[catalin.ghenea]

Hi,

I am trying to deploy an app with FOG director to an IR809.

I add the app with docker and then install it on an IR809.

The app uses symbolic links to point to some resources.

When the app is running it has to modify this symbolic links.

When the container is deployed on IOX the owner of the symbolic links is changed to nobody:nogroup.

All the other files are owned by root:root.

I want to be able to modify the symbolic links when I deploy the container.

Root can't modify files owned by nobody.

I tested the setup locally with docker. All went well

Do you have any ideas on how to make symbolic links be owned by root:root when I deploy the container?

I tried to modify the owner of the files in the Dockerfile.

Here's a couple of ideas:

• Change ownership of the symbolic links with chown -h (without a slash at the end of the target)
• See Mount host directory with a symbolic link inside in docker container on StackOverflow
