the user and grouid is 101000:101000
i also tried with 1000:1000

I also change the opencloud.yaml setting by addapting all insecure config parameter to false .

Any hint how to handle the permissions ?

Cheers

opencloud init --diff is probably seeing an admin password from the environment.

In the current init command, --diff and --admin-password are mutually exclusive, and the admin password option is also populated from env vars such as ADMIN_PASSWORD / IDM_ADMIN_PASSWORD. So even if you did not type --admin-password, Docker Compose can still make it present.

For the diff run, unset/blank those variables:

docker compose run --rm \
  -e ADMIN_PASSWORD= \
  -e IDM_ADMIN_PASSWORD= \
  opencloud opencloud init --diff

or inside the container:

ADMIN_PASSWORD= IDM_ADMIN_PASSWORD= opencloud init --diff

Do not use force overwrite until you have backed up and reviewed the diff, because the existing config is exactly what you are trying to compare.
