Is it a bad idea to recursively change the permissions for the /var/lib/docker directory? That directory is owned by root:root and the permissions are rwx–x—.
I’m hoping to be able to access my named volumes without using sudo so that I can easily back them up.
You must log in or register to comment.
Only one way to find out :D
I mean in test, definitely in test not production I swear. I’m staying late working on unrelated projects.
Why are your named volumes related to /var/lib/docker at all?
If you want to back up the data, you just need to access wherever the host directory is.
/some/home/directory:/container/directoryYou only need access to that host directory and back that up?
I think you’re thinking of bind mounts. Named volumes live in /var/lib/docker/volumes.
Gotcha - my mistake.

Don’t do it, you’re going to mess up the container permissions and most likely break anything that uses a named volume.
