Using checkout within a Docker container

[hannesa2]

Hi, I use actions/checkout with a Docker image

jobs:
  dockerRun:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        ubuntu: [ 'focal' ]
    container: hannesa2/abc-${{ matrix.ubuntu }}-4:pr-1
    steps:
      - name: investigate
        run: |
          pwd
          whoami
          ls -la
          id -u
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

and run into

Does someone has an idea how to solve this user permission issue ?

I added the line below after the checkout, in the picture in the Run drop down menu, should see a similar git command, suppose to be fixed in version 3
-run git config --global --add safe.directory ${GITHUB_WORKSPACE}

I changed to

      - name: Checkout
          uses: actions/checkout@v3.0.2
      - name: Build with Docker
        run: |

(just for me to remember, it's branch DockerMissingPackageFix of a private repo)

I'm not sure, if I can do something better ?

Sorry misread the issue in the photo, your issue states mkdir is denied, I thought it was this issue #766

Any Idea what's wrong here and how to fix ?

[hannesa2]

To show issue, I transferred to public repo hannesa2/alexa-auto-sdk-public#3

Try

container:
  image: <image>
  options: --user root

[yoramdelangen]

--user root

This worked for me, for now
