Question

Describe the problem

I am making an action that runs API tests from a docker container, which generates a report.html. This report is saved into a docker volume. Within the action, after the report is created, I attempt to use actions/upload-artifact on report.html, using the path to its place in the volume on the host machine.

The problem is I get Error: EACCES: permission denied, lstat /path/to/report.html when the action attempts to do this.

I've tried to solve this by doing sudo chmod ugo+rwx /path/to/report.html before using the action but it changed nothing. I think running the action with sudo would work but that doesn't seem to be supported.

How to reproduce

Reproducing an analogous example where I just create a test.txt file in the volume. github action looks like this:

name: Action
on:
  push:
    
jobs:
  example:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Compose Containers and Run 
        run: |
          docker-compose up --abort-on-container-exit
      
      - name: Fix permissions 
        run: |
          sudo chmod ugo+rwx /var/lib/docker/volumes/example_reports/_data/test.txt
        
      - name: Upload report.html
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: test.txt
          path: /var/lib/docker/volumes/example_reports/_data/test.txt

Dockerfile is simply:

FROM ubuntu

ENTRYPOINT [ "/bin/bash", "-c" ]

And doker compose:

version: "3.7"

services:
  example:
    build:
      context: .
    volumes:
      - reports:/home/reports
    command: ["touch /home/reports/test.txt"]

volumes:
  reports:

Answer 1

Your docker container is running as root and therefore creating the file as root.

You can change that by specifying

    user: '1000:1000'

for your service in your docker-compose file.

Answer 2

Turns out I was thinking about this too hard. All I needed to do to get upload-artifact to work was copy the file out of the volume directory first.

In the action file, instead of trying to fix permissions, simply do this after composing up the containers:

 - name: Copy out file from volume
   run: |
     sudo cp /var/lib/docker/volumes/example_reports/_data/test.txt /home/
  
  - name: Upload report.html
    uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
    with:
      name: test.txt
      path: /home/test.txt
