1. install colima and start it with colima start --vm-type=vz --vz-rosetta
2. then use this docker command to start the maria db databse container

sudo docker run -d --name mariadb \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --env MARIADB_USER=bn_moodle \
  --env MARIADB_PASSWORD=bitnami \
  --env MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_moodle \
  --network moodle-network \
  --volume /Users/fabian/moodle/mariadb:/bitnami/mariadb \
  bitnami/mariadb:latest

3. then also start the moodle container with

sudo docker run -d --name moodle \
-p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 \
--env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
--env MOODLE_DATABASE_USER=bn_moodle \
--env MOODLE_DATABASE_PASSWORD=bitnami \
--env MOODLE_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_moodle \
--env BITNAMI_DEBUG=true \
--network moodle-network \
--volume /Users/fabian/moodle/moodle:/bitnami/moodle \
--volume /Users/fabian/moodle/moodledata:/bitnami/moodledata \
bitnami/moodle:latest

What is the expected behavior?

start normally and run the install script

What do you see instead?

Bitnami containers are designed to operate as non-root by default. Consequently, any files or directories used by the application should be owned by the root group, as the random user (1001 by default) is a member of this root group. To ensure proper permissions, you'll need to adjust the ownership of your local directory accordingly.

For more comprehensive information about non-root containers and their significance for security, you can explore the following resources:

• Why non-root containers are important for security
• Use Non-Root Containers
• Work With Non-Root Containers for Bitnami Applications
• Running non-root containers on Openshift

These references provide valuable insights into the best practices and considerations when working with non-root containers in Bitnami applications.
