docker ubuntu permissions bash

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I keep running into Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm working with a frustrating scenario when trying to run a Docker container on my Ubuntu 20.04 system. I have set up a container that needs to access a directory on the host machine, but when I run the container with the volume mounted, I receive a 'Permission Denied' behavior. Here’s the command I'm using to start the container: ```bash docker run -v /home/user/data:/data my-image ``` The directory `/home/user/data` exists and has the following permissions: ```bash ls -ld /home/user/data ``` This returns: ``` drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Oct 25 12:00 data ``` I've also checked the Docker group and made sure my user is a part of it: ```bash groups user ``` This shows `docker` in the list. I've tried running the container with `sudo`, but I get a similar behavior. My Docker version is `20.10.7` and I'm running the latest kernel `5.11.0-27-generic`. I believe the scenario might be related to the way Docker handles permissions for mounted volumes, especially as I have SELinux set to enforcing mode. I ran `setenforce 0` to temporarily set it to permissive, but that didn’t resolve the scenario either. I've also made sure that there’s no AppArmor profile restricting access to the directory. What other configurations or checks should I perform to resolve this 'Permission Denied' scenario? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Any advice would be much appreciated. This is my first time working with Bash 3.9. For context: I'm using Bash on Linux. Any advice would be much appreciated.
