Description
Hello,
I'm using the image nginx:alpine and sometime for the first docker-compose up -d I got this error spammed in logs and container restarting:
mkdir() "/var/cache/nginx/client_temp" failed (13: Permission denied)
If I docker-compose up -d again my container will be fixed but why ?
Best regards,
Lucas BOPP

Start by reproducing the issue with the nginx:alpine image and the docker-compose up -d entry point, then inspect the container logs across repeated starts. Done means explaining why the client_temp directory sometimes lacks permission and identifying the environment or configuration condition responsible.
