[Gluster-users] Redis db permission issue while running GitLab in Kubernetes with Gluster

Thu Sep 7 19:28:50 UTC 2017

I don't think this is a gluster problem...

Each container is going to have its own notion of user ids, hence the
mystery uid 1000 in the redis container. I suspect that if you exec into
the gitlab container, it may be the one running as 1000 (guessing based on
the file names). If you want to share volumes across containers, you're
going to have to do something explicitly to make sure each of them (with
their own uid/gid) can read/write the volume, for example by sharing the
same gid across all containers.

I'm going to suggest not sharing the same volume across all 3 containers
unless they need shared access to the data.
