I am trying to change ownership of static directory in a container but for some reason it's not working but it works on another directory.

securityContext:
  runAsUser: 0
command: ["/bin/sh"]
args:
- -c
- |
  chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/pub/media
  chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/pub/static

When I run kubectl -n magento exec magento-web-dweq34672 -- ls -al var/www/html/pub I see static directory still under root ownership. everytime I Am manually changing it using following which is getting frustrating now, any suggestions

kubectl -n magento exec magento-web-dweq34672 -- chown -R www-data:www-data var/www/html/pub

kubernetes docker magento containers

As suggested before you can use initContainer in your deployment spec.

Example:

initContainers:
        - name: my-init
          image: busybox:1.28
          command: [ 'sh', '-c', 'chown -R www-data:www-data var/www/html/pub']

Here you can find more information about initContainer

Another option is rebuild the image with the right permissions.

Init container is what you need here, use init container to change the permissions and the ownership.
