InfluxDB v2 nfs volume issue "chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/influxdb2': Operation not permitted"

[cindyjiawq]

When execute "docker run -p 8086:8086 --name influxdb2 -v ${NFS_INFLUX_DIR}:/var/lib/influxdb2 influxdb:2.1.1", it always fails with error msg "chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/influxdb2': Operation not permitted". ${NFS_INFLUX_DIR} is a mount point on NFS.

I have the same problem, as workaround I created a new docker image as following

FROM influxdb:2.2.0-alpine

COPY entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh
ENTRYPOINT ["/entrypoint.sh"]
CMD ["influxd"]

EXPOSE 8086

ENV INFLUX_CONFIGS_PATH /etc/influxdb2/influx-configs
ENV INFLUXD_INIT_PORT 9999
ENV INFLUXD_INIT_PING_ATTEMPTS 600
ENV DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_CLI_CONFIG_NAME default

I removed block code that start from line 108 in [entrypoint.sh] (https://github.com/influxdata/influxdata-docker/blob/master/influxdb/2.3/alpine/entrypoint.sh#L108)

Now you can change the value of helm chart with your docker image

image:
  repository: <your_image_name>
  tag: <tag>
  pullPolicy: Always
  pullSecrets:
  - <docker-registry-secret>

Is there a fix for this? I'm running 2.7.1-alpine and have encountered this problem, doing Bind Mounts to a NFS space.

@cindyjiawq / @bacterik Did you guys found anything apart from making changes in the Docker image which might be helpful . As seeing same issue

I have possibly the same issue although the message is slightly different. For me it's like:

chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/influxdb2/engine/data/@eaDir/_series/05/0000': Invalid argument chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/influxdb2/engine/data/@eaDir/_series/00': Invalid argument chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/influxdb2/engine/data/@eaDir/_series/00/0000': Invalid argument

i am able to mount the directory to the file system and create a test-file without sudo or anything else. Starting the container brings me the log full of the messages. The NFS permissions is basically mapping everything to admin. I tried everything at this point. I really don't understand why it's such a problem. I don't want to start managing an own docker file for this.

Please help

This has worked for me in kubernetes, Use at your own risk. It replaces the line in a if statement.
