How to change to www-data?

[siddjain]

Hello we are using wordpress docker image. Thanks for this image first of all. We can login to a running container using:

docker exec -it container-name /bin/bash

This logs the user as root. From here how can we change the user to www-data? We tried:

su www-data

but it says:

This account is not available

Thanks for your help.

I found the fix for this:

su www-data -s /bin/bash

The reason for error is because in the /etc/passwd file, the user www-data's shell is set to /sbin/nologin

Try this: docker exec -it --user=www-data container-name /bin/bash
