I just went through dockerizing my nextcloud installation. The www-data user on my host had uid 33, but the one inside the container uses uid 82, which had me scratching my head for a minute. You can confirm the actual uid by running id www-data inside the nextcloud container.
It depends on how you set it up. You’re going to take a performance hit using a bind mount. The docs recommend putting your workspace into an actual docker volume for better performance, but I haven’t tried that myself cause so far the bind mount has performed “good enough” for me.
Dev containers are the shit. We did the readme instructions style at my last job and it took new hires like a full day to set up, propagating changes was a nightmare and shit was always going wrong. We use dev containers now. Everyone gets the exact same version of everything with almost zero opportunity to screw it up. If anything gets messed up, it’s fixed by a rebuild almost every time.
Yeah, this was especially irritating in a python project that uses poetry, cause every single one would cause a merge conflict. We stopped using it altogether because of that. Will have to give this a try.
