Originally created by @tvories on GitHub (Dec 15, 2021).

I have a shared directory for my book files. I would love to be able to set the docker container to run as a specific UID/GID so I can match my directory permissions for my central book storage.

I know the LinuxServer containers offer this ability, but I don't know how to add this to the docker container.

You can set them when running the docker container.

docker run -d \
    -e AUDIOBOOKSHELF_UID=99
    -e AUDIOBOOKSHELF_GID=100
    -p 1337:80 \
    -v </path/to/audiobooks>:/audiobooks \
    -v </path/to/config>:/config \
    -v </path/to/metadata>:/metadata \
    --name audiobookshelf \
    --rm advplyr/audiobookshelf

The docs still have a way to go

Thanks for the info! I was digging around for that. For my own knowledge, where is that set in the code to respect that env?

At the entry point https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/blob/master/index.js#L21

The only place UID/GID are used right now is when uploading audiobooks through the upload form, and when backups are created. This will need to be extended to include setting the file owner for cache and cover metadata as well.
