DevKinsta on Windows, files created as www-data and root

Hi @kim.aptum :wave:

What extension and what configuration do you have for VSCode to connect to your devkinsta_fpm container? Perhaps it’s missing a username setting?

In general, to do things as the user in the container interactively from a Command Prompt, you’d do something similar to this:

Another thing to check here is that if you’re getting prompted for FTP credentials when updating a plugin or installing one, you could use this in wp-config.php:

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

Otherwise, the easiest solution is to do a recursive chown (-R) to www-data:www-data without supplying the -u option to Docker, as you have been.

Let me know if this helps
