Summary

config.json gets “reset” when using CLI on docker installation

Steps to reproduce

We are able to run CLI commands !docker exec -it! as below but running it again causes alot of errors and then the config.json gets reset? and no longer contains our settings.

Running version:
docker@livm27p:/bin> docker exec -it mattermost-docker_app_1 mattermost version
Version: 5.30.0
Build Number: 5.31.0
Build Date: Fri Jan 15 02:36:16 UTC 2021
Build Enterprise Ready: true
DB Version: 5.31.0

Expected behavior

that it is possible to do several CLI commands without error

Observed behavior

Alot of errors and then missing all our settings in config.json

Thank you!
Kind regards,
Anette

Hello, @Anette

Would you mind confirming if you ran the CLI command using the root / mattermost user?

I just want to confirm if you might potentially run in a known issue here - Config.json resets itself to original if binary is run with root user starting from 5.30

Since you are running on 5.31.0, there is a chance that you might be affected by it.
