docker install problem

[chuangtim]

Hi.I install it from docker hub and execute the following command with root

docker run -it
-v "/data/mongobackup/conf:/conf:Z"
-v "/data/mongobackup/data:/var/lib/mongodb-consistent-backup:Z"
-v "/data/mongobackup/logs:/var/log/mongodb-consistent-backup:Z"
perconalab/mongodb_consistent_backup:latest --config=/conf/mongodb-consistent-backup.conf

The error is as follows：

Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".bootstrap/_pex/pex.py", line 349, in execute

Hi @chuangtim, try running this as the user that owns /data/mongobackup (see --user flag).

I believe /data/mongobackup is owned as a different UID than the tool expects:

docker run -it --user=$(id -u)
-v "/data/mongobackup/conf:/conf:Z" 
-v "/data/mongobackup/data:/var/lib/mongodb-consistent-backup:Z" 
-v "/data/mongobackup/logs:/var/log/mongodb-consistent-backup:Z" 
perconalab/mongodb_consistent_backup:latest --config=/conf/mongodb-consistent-backup.conf

You could also 'chown' /data/mongobackup to match the default UID the docker container runs as (probably 1000).
