{% admonition(type="warning") %}
The container runs as UID/GID `1003:1006`, and a bind mount takes the ownership of the host directory. Without the `chown` above, the Host client can't write to the mounts and exits with a `permission denied` error on `.defra/keys`. This is a workaround until the image handles directory ownership on startup.
