Docker-compose local directory mappings are ignored, docker volumes are used instead

This is my first time setting up owncloud, and I’m trying to do it using docker-compose. The YAML file that I’m using is the following:

version: "3"

services:
  owncloud:
    image: owncloud/server:latest
    container_name: owncloud_server
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 1234:8080
    depends_on:
      - mariadb
      - redis
    environment:
      - OWNCLOUD_DOMAIN=owncloud.mydomain.net
      - OWNCLOUD_DB_TYPE=mysql
      - OWNCLOUD_DB_NAME=owncloud
      - OWNCLOUD_DB_USERNAME=owncloud
      - OWNCLOUD_DB_PASSWORD=passwd
      - OWNCLOUD_DB_HOST=mariadb
      - OWNCLOUD_ADMIN_USERNAME=user-admin
      - OWNCLOUD_ADMIN_PASSWORD=passwd
      - OWNCLOUD_MYSQL_UTF8MB4=true
      - OWNCLOUD_REDIS_ENABLED=true
      - OWNCLOUD_REDIS_HOST=redis
    volumes:
      - /mnt/volume-nbg1-1/owncloud/files:/var/www/html/files
      - /mnt/volume-nbg1-1/owncloud/config:/var/www/html/config
      - /mnt/volume-nbg1-1/owncloud/apps:/var/www/html/apps
      - /mnt/volume-nbg1-1/owncloud/sessions:/var/www/html/sessions

  mariadb:
    image: mariadb:10.5
    container_name: owncloud_mariadb
    restart: always
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=passwd
      - MYSQL_USER=owncloud
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=passwd
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=owncloud
    volumes:
      - /mnt/volume-nbg1-1/owncloud/mariadb:/var/lib/mysql

  redis:
    image: redis:6
    container_name: owncloud_redis
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /mnt/volume-nbg1-1/owncloud/redis:/data

My issue is that although the Redis and MariaDB directories are created and filled correctly upon deployment, the owncloud mounted directories seem to be created correctly, but then a docker volume is also created inside /var/lib/docker/volumes/<random_seq>/_data and then the directories in it are the ones that get populated. The owncloud.log is empty, so I can’t get any hints from that. I’ve also tried changing the owner of the owncloud dir inside /mnt/volume-nbg1-1 to the docker user, but that didn’t change anything. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?

owncloud docker-compose docker

Inspecting the owncloud/server:latest image shows the volume they define in there is /mnt/data. So you'd need to define a volume for that to avoid the anonymous volume docker creates by default. E.g.:

version: "3"

services:
  owncloud:
    image: owncloud/server:latest
    container_name: owncloud_server
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 1234:8080
    depends_on:
      - mariadb
      - redis
    environment:
      - OWNCLOUD_DOMAIN=owncloud.mydomain.net
      - OWNCLOUD_DB_TYPE=mysql
      - OWNCLOUD_DB_NAME=owncloud
      - OWNCLOUD_DB_USERNAME=owncloud
      - OWNCLOUD_DB_PASSWORD=passwd
      - OWNCLOUD_DB_HOST=mariadb
      - OWNCLOUD_ADMIN_USERNAME=user-admin
      - OWNCLOUD_ADMIN_PASSWORD=passwd
      - OWNCLOUD_MYSQL_UTF8MB4=true
      - OWNCLOUD_REDIS_ENABLED=true
      - OWNCLOUD_REDIS_HOST=redis
    volumes:
      - owncloud-data:/mnt/data
      - /mnt/volume-nbg1-1/owncloud/files:/var/www/html/files
      - /mnt/volume-nbg1-1/owncloud/config:/var/www/html/config
      - /mnt/volume-nbg1-1/owncloud/apps:/var/www/html/apps
      - /mnt/volume-nbg1-1/owncloud/sessions:/var/www/html/sessions

  mariadb:
    image: mariadb:10.5
    container_name: owncloud_mariadb
    restart: always
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=passwd
      - MYSQL_USER=owncloud
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=passwd
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=owncloud
    volumes:
      - /mnt/volume-nbg1-1/owncloud/mariadb:/var/lib/mysql

  redis:
    image: redis:6
    container_name: owncloud_redis
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /mnt/volume-nbg1-1/owncloud/redis:/data

volumes:
  owncloud-data:

Note that I switched to a named volume here because I don't know the initial contents of that directory or directory owner/permissions it expects.
