Security and mounting volumes

For security, all tools run as non-root user with uid 666. So to access mounted volumes (images or media) do one of the following from within your Docker host:

  • Make them readable by everyone chmod o+rx
  • make them readable by uid/gid 666
  • Run as another user: docker run --rm -it --user $UID wernight/funbox ...

Example:

$ chown 666 my-image.png
$ docker run --rm -it -v $PWD/my-image.png:/my-image.png:ro wernight/funbox metapixel /my-image.png
