    You could mount a directory into the container such that when the container writes to those files inside. They are also visible outside. docs.docker.com/engine/storage/volumes Commented Sep 8, 2024 at 7:46

  • If a principal part of your application involves writing local files, or knowing who the local user is, it may be much easier to run directly on the host: containers don't have direct access to the user's home directory or any knowledge of who the host user might be.

You can achieve by docker volume & bind mount, where you will be able to bind a host volume to container volume. You need to make sure the permission while doing volume bind is correct. You can refer to the following document:

  1. https://docs.docker.com/engine/storage/volumes/ -as in the comment and
