Docker compose, nginx and wordpress can't upload files to volume - permission denied

[glenelkinsdev]

Bashing my head against a wall for hours here, i can't upload files in wordpress due to permission denied, i have logged into the website container and tried different users with chown like www-data, nginx, 1000 and all chmod to 755 yet i still can't upload files.

Wordpress clearly can see the uploads folder as it says:

The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2022/05.

so it's looking at the correct location and seeing the 05 folder but just can't write the file to it. I'm using a docker volume for the uploads folder which is mapped to the container wp-content/uploads path. When i log into the container i can see the files that are stored on the volume, just can't write to it.

If it helps here is an output on the website container of the uploads folder:

-rw-rw-r--  1 1000 1000  1878 May  2 12:29 db-error.php
-rw-rw-r--  1 1000 1000     0 May  2 17:50 debug.log

drwxrwxr-x 10 1000 1000  4096 May  3 12:36 uploads

I have tried to chmod the uploads folder to nginx, www-data and it just won't work and i'm now at a loss.

Here is the docker compose:

Weirdly if i also try to use a bind mount it still won't write to it.

The wordpress/php container you're building isn't the one that we maintain
There might be a conflict between the two overlapping volumes

./Vipirs-Website:/usr/share/nginx/html
vipirs-uploads:/usr/share/nginx/html/website/wp-content/uploads:rw

I'd try asking over at the Docker Community Forums, Docker Community Slack, or Stack Overflow. Since these repos aren't really a user-help forum
