Hi! In my Dockerfile, I have this line:
RUN chmod go-w -R /tmp && mkdir /tmp/secrets
it builds successfully. On my local machine, this works. There is a folder under /tmp and the folder itself has the right permissions.
However, in my image on Digital Ocean Apps; /tmp is still marked with drwxrwxrwt root root and there is no directory /tmp/secrets
Why is it like this?

Hi there,
I believe that /tmp is cleared after every restart meaning that once you start a container from that image, it will have a blank /tmp directory.
Alternatively, you could use /var/tmp as it does not get cleared after a restart.
I’ve just tested this with /var/tmp and it seems to be working as expected.
Best,
Bobby
