I have a Django application running on an mod_wsgi (embedded mode) Apache instance inside a Docker container. This container shares a volume (media/) with the host.

When a user uploads a file, it is stored in the media/<file> directory. The issue is that the file owner and group are both root, and I need write access to these for a particular user (tech) and/or group (tech-group).

I'm assuming it is happening because python is running as root in the container(?). Is there a way to instead have it run as tech? Or somehow tell Django to write files as a particular user/group?
