Nobody is running dev tools as root 🙂. Docker containers, by default, run as root inside the container (even when launched by a non-root user on the host system). Your example is using Singularity, which was designed in part to work with non-root users by default.
Tox needs to run inside the container precisely when the dev wants it to. For example, I often run the command Resonant applications provides this container as a convenience. Adopting pre-commit in dandi-archive caused some of the "rev matching" problems to surface, so I'm looking into how to fix it to provide a generally better experience across Resonant apps. In any case, I am working on a way to build the container so that it runs as the same user as the dev who built it. If that works, then it will provide parity between host OS and Docker container. Stay tuned for updates. |
FWIW -- checked that it works: ❯ docker compose run --rm --user "$(id -u)" django touch 123

This mostly works--depending on how the container image was built you can still run into problems. Plus, having to add the
This is really the core of the issue--having to remember the But I'm experimenting with moving these things to the build phase so that the regular commands "just work". Stand by, I have an incoming fix for all this (I hope). |
The core issue is :
and the fact that "Docker containers" are not animate, they do not run themselves. They are executed by people who run them and as a result running dev tools as root. It is just a fact.
It is something to remember about and to not execute In the longer run it might be better to look to switch to podman and having fake root inside the container space so touched bind-mounted files would still be fine. I have expressed my opinion ("never run dev tools as root" - whether through |
I did not mean to be dismissive--I was just pointing out a reality of how most people run Docker containers. As I said, I'm working on a solution that addresses this issue head on (it is similar to what you suggested, but even better). |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I get this when I run the docker compose build command. I think the adduser command doesn't support the . character in usernames (my username on my ubuntu system is michael.vandenburgh).

The man page for adduser says you can use --allow-bad-names to override this, but then I get this error:

Thanks for the edge cases (regarding username nonconformance and group existence). Commits d7026cc and 2ada467 should help. |

This extends #2045 to use the same pre-commit hooks to perform linting and formatting via tox.ini. In particular, this "refactors" the specification of what versions of codespell and ruff to use to just one place: the pre-commit config file.
The variants of the pre-commit hooks that are needed to replace the tox.ini commands are listed in the pre-commit config using the
manualstage specifier with appropriate aliases, meaning they will not be invoked as a git hook ever, and enabling them to be invoked by name in the tox config.This PR also modifies the dev Dockerfile to build it to run as the user from the host system. That is, instead of running as root inside the container, it will instead run as the same (non-root) user who is doing development work (including building this container, etc.). That enables the use of
pre-commitboth inside and outside the container, sincepre-commitrequires examining Git status, etc. Without this modification, you get errors about "dubious ownership" of the Git repository.I am totally willing to peel off the Dockerfile changes to a separate PR if we require further discussion, especially if some of these ideas are suitable for general use with Docker containers. Let me know what you think, @mvandenburgh.
