WithVolume vs. WithBindMount

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

I am trying for a while now to configure sftpgo as a docker container with a file system mounted so that we have a base path for the folders of the sftp. It seems that WithVolume creates the volume and adds it to the container, but the sftpgo service cannot create subfolders due to permission issues. The volume is mounted with root user. Also I don't really understand the difference between WithBindMount and WithVolume. I think some more examples wouldn't hurt.

Please check the KeyCloak integration since its recommends Docker Volume, and also mentions the usecases where BindMount makes a better choice.

If it's a case of setting an ARG/ENV variable in the container, then either use the container image and manually build a container resource or define a custom extension method for 'IResourceBuilder' to incorporate the specific feature you want in the container

Hope this helps.

cc @IEvangelist kindly review my comment here; i may have missed some pertinent issues.

Yeah, @indcoder is correct here. We've been working through updates on all the content, but there's a lot to update. With that said, this tutorial is fairly dated and will need work. In the integration articles that expose container resources, with APIs such as WithDataBindMount and WithDataVolume we've been including clarifying text to support why you'd choose one over the other. But I'm not sure that helps you now, does it? Are you still stuck; what does your app host code look like now?
