Startup and install slow due to chown

[askvortsov1]

Whenever the docker container is started, every folder and file in /flarum is chown'ed to a special user created for running flarum (UID 991 by default). This is extremely slow, and if multiple extensions are installed, can take multiple minutes to complete.

I can suggest an environment variable to disable chown?

The [flarum] [INFO] Setting folder permissions step is taking more than 8 minutes on my machine.

@Magicalex I can confirm that this still takes nearly 10 minutes on a quick machine. The fix does not appear to be working as expected. (Or it took even longer before ...).

Do all files in /etc/s6.d /run/php /var/log /var/lib/nginx really have to be chowned every time? Maybe this can be done differently by using groups. The whole php and flarum installation belongs to group flarum and the $UID is just added to the group? I saw that we did something like this at work.

No, i'm not sure. I need to dive back into it. I am interested in your solutions.

Issue is still here. A fix is really needed since 2 years passed and each restart of the flarum instance takes ages to load. Is there any solution to this? Why is it necessary to run chown on each start?
