Find your user id and group id on MacOS

Devilbox maps the devilbox user inside containers to your macOS user. Set NEW_UID and NEW_GID in .env.

Print your IDs

Open a terminal and run:

id -u
id -g

Example output:

501
20

Use the first number as NEW_UID; the second as NEW_GID.

Run:

cp -n env-example .env
nano .env

Set:

NEW_UID=501
NEW_GID=20

Restart:

./dvl.sh down
./dvl.sh up

./dvl.sh shell

Enter PHP and check ownership:

id
touch /shared/httpd/uid-check.txt
exit
ls -l data/www/uid-check.txt
rm data/www/uid-check.txt

The file owner should match your macOS user. If not, recheck NEW_UID and NEW_GID against id -u and id -g; then review prerequisites.
