setting permissions inside the docker container

[borsna]

This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Configuring the Docker task in Bamboo

I tried to set the permissions in the docker container by setting $HOST_UID and $HOST_GID and then run

chown -R $HOST_UID:$HOST_GID /<path_to_mounted_volume>

inside the container. this does not work, there is not values in $UID and $GID

This was suggested on https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/configuring-the-docker-task-in-bamboo-720411254.html

setting the enviroment variables:

The echo does not contain the values only the strings (from the buld log):

27-Nov-2015 10:04:08	uid $UID
27-Nov-2015 10:04:08	gid $GID

Is there somehting i have missed regarding the way to set the values in HOST_UID and HOST_GID?

Bamboo doesn't seem to expand any variable configured in the Docker Task.

I've created bug report BAM-16989 for this.
I also added a comment to the bug report that describes a workaround.
