docker hub image dbconfig.xml has incorrect permissions

Question

/var/atlassian/application-data/jira/dbconfig.xml seems to be owned by root instead of the user jira when pulling the latest docker image atlassian/jira-software:latest (8.3.2)

Is this correct? it prevents the installation completing with a permission denied error

I know "how" to fix the error... the problem is that because it is part of the docker image, whenever I restart the container or pull a fresh install, it is broken.

I need to manually change the permissions and docker commit the image to prevent it getting reset when the docker container is restarted. This is also related to

Hi Adam,

I think that's not right. I would recommend running through How to fix JIRA Directories permission in Linux and correcting your permissions. Let us know if that helps.
