A plain grafana/grafana-oss deployment therefore fails on first boot with: This template handles it in docker-entrypoint.sh : the container starts as root, takes ownership of the mount, and then exec s into UID 472. Since it is an exec rather than a fork, no root process survives into runtime — the Grafana process itself stays unprivileged. You do not need to set RAILWAY RUN UID=0 . That variable is the common workaround for this class of error, but it leaves Grafana running as root for the entire lifetime of the container.
