can not get past permission denied error on nexus.lock file

[vbagley]

I am trying to get docker/nexus to run, but I am running into this error: 2017-03-02 10:49:24,609-0500 WARN [jetty-main-1] *SYSTEM org.sonatype.nexus.util.LockFile - Failed to write lock file
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/sonatype/nexus/nexus.lock (Permission denied)

Below is my dockerfile:

do all in one step

RUN set -ex &&

&& chgrp -R appsadm ${WORKDIR} \

&& rm -rf /tmp/nexus-${NEXUS_VERSION}

USER appsadm

EXPOSE 8081

ENV CONTEXT_PATH /nexus
ENV MAX_HEAP 768m

And yes I know I am using appsadm user. Any help would be appreciated.
