Access rights to the Workbench data directory of Dockerized Workbench
I switched to Linux and found out that Linux version of Xpress does not include Workbench (nor IVE). (By the way, this information is rather hidden in the documentation.) I am therefore experimentin...
Let me try to answer
- The provision of Xpress Workbench via Docker is meant as part of the Xpress Insight Dockerized distribution; it was not intended as a general-purpose all-platforms replacement to the Workbench IDE installers on supported platforms.
- The user:group on file created by the docker process is controlled by the Docker subsystem, this may not be user-configurable
- Docker Desktop is distinct from the regular Linux Docker Engine (see Docker docs link in earlier message), and may have more user-friendly handling of users and groups; this is what we tested on.
- We don't recommend symlinks that reach outside of the workspace, it is meant to be self-contained.
- The workspace root folder should contain each project as an immediate child folder. Metadata will be stored in hidden files/folders in the workspace root.
Hope this helps.
