Permission issues with sync folders

[BartPichola]

I'm having issues with vagrant not assigning proper permissions to files

If I run

    ls -l

This is what I get from local machine:

-rw-r--r-- 1 BPichola 1049089    130 May 20 15:46 400.shtml
-rw-r--r-- 1 BPichola 1049089    162 May 20 15:46 401.shtml
-rw-r--r-- 1 BPichola 1049089    201 May 20 15:46 403.shtml
-rw-r--r-- 1 BPichola 1049089     83 May 20 15:46 404.shtml
-rw-r--r-- 1 BPichola 1049089    461 May 20 15:46 500.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 BPichola 1049089     71 May 20 15:46 500.shtml
-rw-r--r-- 1 BPichola 1049089   3989 Sep 15 12:00 brand.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 BPichola 1049089   5752 Sep 15 12:00 category.php
drwxr-xr-x 1 BPichola 1049089      0 Oct 16 11:18 classes/
drwxr-xr-x 1 BPichola 1049089      0 Sep 30 15:49 css/
...

But this is what I get within vagrant (through vagrant ssh)

-rwxrwxrwx 1 vagrant vagrant    130 May 20 22:46 400.shtml
-rwxrwxrwx 1 vagrant vagrant    162 May 20 22:46 401.shtml
-rwxrwxrwx 1 vagrant vagrant    201 May 20 22:46 403.shtml
-rwxrwxrwx 1 vagrant vagrant     83 May 20 22:46 404.shtml
-rwxrwxrwx 1 vagrant vagrant    461 May 20 22:46 500.php
-rwxrwxrwx 1 vagrant vagrant     71 May 20 22:46 500.shtml
-rwxrwxrwx 1 vagrant vagrant   3989 Sep 15 19:00 brand.php
-rwxrwxrwx 1 vagrant vagrant   5752 Sep 15 19:00 category.php
drwxrwxrwx 1 vagrant vagrant   4096 Oct 16 18:18 classes
drwxrwxrwx 1 vagrant vagrant      0 Sep 30 22:49 css
...

in vagrantfile srv/www sync file is set to following:

  if vagrant_version >= "1.3.0"
    config.vm.synced_folder "www/", "/srv/www/", :owner => "www-data", :mount_options => [ "dmode=755", "fmode=644" ]
  else
    config.vm.synced_folder "www/", "/srv/www/", :owner => "www-data", :extra => 'dmode=755,fmode=644'
  end

However all files and folders still read 777.

This is an issue, because when I push files to production or staging via wordmove, all files get overwritten as 777. I then have to manually log into the server and do:

find -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

find -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

Any help is appreciated :+1:

Is there a solution for this? I have the same issue here.

I think this may be one of those quirks that needs to be documented as I've lost track of what should be expected here. Anyone doing a deep dive on the hows and whys of shared directory user settings could help here. :)

I think that we can close this one with the 3 version now fixed a lot of problems, what do you think @tomjn?

[tomjn]

Folders inside guest the VM take on the ownership group and permissions provided to virtualbox, there's not a lot that can be done about that without moving to things like SMB or NFS shared folders.

Since we've made a lot of significant changes to our shared folder mounts since this issue was opened, I'm going to close it out, but feel free to reopen if it's still of concern
