Using local home directories

In the config.yaml file, you can find the users_dir field, which determines the storage location for user files. By configuring this setting, you can map the home directories of local users to the corresponding location inside the container.

directories:
    users_dir: /home

To enable write access to directories owned by a local user from within the container, you must ensure that the UID or GID of those directories matches the user running Lungo, and that appropriate write permissions have been granted.

For instance, consider a scenario where a directory is owned by the user joe, and Lungo is running with the user lungo. In this case, the directory should be assigned to the same group as the primary group of lungo, and group write permission should be granted. For more information, please refer to the file permissions section.
