Incorrect permissions for file with docker compose volume? 13: Permission denied

I have the following docker_compose.yaml:

version: "3.8"

services:
  reverse-proxy:
    image: nginx:1.17.10
    container_name: reverse_proxy
    volumes:
      - ../nginx/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
    ports:
      - "8050:8050"
      - "8051:8051"
  webapp:
    image: my-site
    command: --port 8050 8051 --debug yes
    volumes:
      - /home/user/data:/data
    ports:
      - "8050:8050"
      - "8051:8051"
    depends_on:
      - reverse-proxy

When I run via docker compose I get the following error:

$ sudo docker-compose -f /home/user/docker_compose.yaml up
...
reverse_proxy    | 2022/03/09 00:49:19 [emerg] 1#1: open() "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf" failed (13: Permission denied)
reverse_proxy    | nginx: [emerg] open() "/etc/nginx/nginx.conf" failed (13: Permission denied)
reverse_proxy exited with code 1

So to investigate I re-ran just the nginx container:

$ sudo docker run -v ../nginx/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t docker.io/nginx tail -f /dev/null

ssh‘d in and I see:

root@d8e84f89fcad:/# ls -la /etc/nginx/
ls: cannot access '/etc/nginx/nginx.conf': Permission denied

I consulted the following Q and others and they seem to suggest to just restart the docker service, so I did and I still get ? permissions upon re running.

I assume that this is causing the permission error? If so, how can I set the correct permissions on this nginx config file? Is this really a volume permission issue?

Answer

I think it was an SELinux thing, appending :z to the volume fixed it.

volumes:
      - ../nginx/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:z
