How to execute the exec command (docker-compose) so that the files created afterwards belong to the current user on the host machine?

Question

Django

Good afternoon!
When executing a command like

docker-compose exec web python manage.py startapp poll

The poll folder is created on the host machine, but it belongs to root and, in fact, I can’t make changes to the files until I change the group and user from root to the current one.
My project is based on these files:
docker-compose.yml: https:/ /github.com/testdrivenio/django-on-docker/b...
Dockerfile: https://github.com/testdrivenio/django-on-docker/b...

Tried options:
- https://medium.com /faun/set-current-host-user-for-...
- https://jtreminio.com/blog/running-docker-containe...
but that didn't solve the problem. Who faced and decided, tell me, please, which option works for you or how do you get out of this situation?

If you do not specifically give the command you are running and the contents of your specific docker / compose files, then here is the answer corresponding to the question: you have an error somewhere, because it should work.
