Dockerfile "RUN chmod" not taking effect

Everything else takes effect but permissions are not changing, am I missing something?

FROM joomla:3.9-php7.2-apache

RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y apt-utils vim curl

COPY ./joomla_html /var/www/html

RUN chmod -R 765 /var/www/html/

RUN chown -R www-data. /var/www/html/
RUN chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/tmp
RUN chmod -R 777 /tmp
RUN chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/modules
RUN chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/components
RUN chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/administrator/logs
RUN chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/images
RUN chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/uploads

COPY ./docker/php.ini /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/php-extras.ini

EXPOSE 80

This is what I get, every file has permissions to 1000:1000, I need it to be to www-data

Output of ls -la /var/www/html is

total 144
drwxr-xr-x 19 1000 1000 4096 May 8 18:53 .

Can we override CMD in Dockerfile?

Docker CMD The CMD instruction is only utilized if there is no argument added to the run command when starting a container. Therefore, if you add an argument to the command, you override the CMD. To show you how CMD works, we will create a sample container with CMD instruction.

Does Docker run rebuild image?

You can rebuild the image from the base image without using cached layers by using the --no-cache option. New layers were constructed and used. The docker build runs both commands this time, which comes with an all-or-nothing approach.

Do Dockerfile commands run as root?

Now that you've gotten a sense of software provenance in Dockerfiles lets take a look at the USER in Dockerfiles . By default, containers run as root. A container running as root has full control of the host system. As container technology matures, more secure default options may become available.

The directory is defined as a volume upstream: https://github.com/joomla/docker-joomla/blob/d34ff24288dfb5b27a167f870f1fcca56077be78/php7.2/apache/Dockerfile#L64

VOLUME /var/www/html

Volumes cannot be modified with a RUN command. They start in a temporary container that has the volume, and only the changes to the container, not the volume are saved.

You can try asking the upstream repo to change their image to remove the volume definition from the Dockerfile. Or you can pull their repo and build your own version of the base image without the volume. Neither of these will prevent you from running the container later with a volume in that directory.

Otherwise, if you want to extend the image and make changes with RUN commands, you'll need to save your files in another directory. You could also have an entrypoint that copies those files to /var/www/html on container start.

You could also consider a multi stage build, fixing the permissions in the first stage, and then copying the files directly into the volume in the release stage. As you've noticed, COPY still works with volumes. It isn't implement with a temporary container and therefore can place files directly in the image filesystem.
