I was tasked with the creation of a new project template for the VSCode, TorizonOS IDE extension.
I’ve copied the existing cppConsole template, however I am having an issue with bind mounts.
On my host system, my user id is 1001 (The machine came with Ubuntu 22.04 pre-installated)
However, inside the container, the ID of the torizon user is 1000. And so it bind mounts
my ${workspaceFolder} with 1001:1001, and so the build directory can not be created
What is the correct way to solve this mismatch (excluding a recursive chmod 777 on my workspace) ?

To resolve the user ID mismatch between your host system and the container without using a recursive chmod 777, you can consider the following solutions:
Create a User Inside the Container: Modify the Dockerfile or the container’s entrypoint script to add a user with the same user ID as your host user (1001). This ensures that the bind mount will have the correct permissions for the build directory to be created.
Adjust User ID in the Container: Change the Torizon user inside the container to match your host user ID (1001) by modifying the Dockerfile or the container’s user settings.
Use Docker’s User Namespace Feature: Configure the Docker daemon to use user namespaces, allowing you to map the user IDs between the host and the container, ensuring the container’s user ID matches your host user ID.
Specify User in Docker Run Command: Use the --user option in your Docker run command to specify the user ID that matches the container’s user, for example, docker run -u 1000 ....
Modify Permissions of the Workspace Folder: Change the ownership of the workspace folder to match the container’s user ID (1000) using chown, allowing the container to create the build directory without permission issues.
By implementing one of these solutions, you should be able to resolve the user ID mismatch and allow the bind mount to function correctly.
