Logs directory permission denied error when running Artisan commands

Question

I have a setup of docker with laravel and apache alongside mysql, when trying to run artisan command in the terminal of vscode i get :

There is no existing directory at "/var/www/html/storage/logs" and its not buildable: Permission denied

Apache setup in docker compose:

laravel-app:
    build:
      context: ./docker/app
      args:
        uid: ${UID}
    container_name: laravel-app
    environment:
      - APACHE_RUN_USER=#${UID}
      - APACHE_RUN_GROUP=#${UID}
    volumes:
      - .:/var/www/html
    ports:
      - ${HOST_PORT}:80
    networks:
      backend:
        aliases:
          - laravel-app

Dockerfile of apache

FROM php:7.2-apache

RUN apt-get update

# 1. development packages
RUN apt-get install -y \
    git \
    zip \
    curl \
    sudo \
    unzip \
    libicu-dev \
    libbz2-dev \
    libpng-dev \
    libjpeg-dev \
    libmcrypt-dev \
    libreadline-dev \
    libfreetype6-dev \
    g++

# 2. apache configs + document root
ENV APACHE_DOCUMENT_ROOT=/var/www/html/public
RUN sed -ri -e 's!/var/www/html!${APACHE_DOCUMENT_ROOT}!g' /etc/apache2/sites-available/*.conf
RUN sed -ri -e 's!/var/www/!${APACHE_DOCUMENT_ROOT}!g' /etc/apache2/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/*.conf

# 3. mod_rewrite for URL rewrite and mod_headers for .htaccess extra headers like Access-Control-Allow-Origin-
RUN a2enmod rewrite headers

# 4. start with base php config, then add extensions
RUN mv "$PHP_INI_DIR/php.ini-development" "$PHP_INI_DIR/php.ini"

RUN docker-php-ext-install \
    bz2 \
    intl \
    iconv \
    bcmath \
    opcache \
    calendar \
    mbstring \
    pdo_mysql \
    zip

# 5. composer
COPY --from=composer:latest /usr/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer

# 6. we need a user with the same UID/GID with host user
# so when we execute CLI commands, all the host file's ownership remains intact
# otherwise command from inside container will create root-owned files and directories
ARG uid
RUN useradd -G www-data,root -u $uid -d /home/devuser devuser
RUN mkdir -p /home/devuser/.composer && \
    chown -R devuser:devuser /home/devuser

even though the directory exists, also the commands run successfully from within the container. Should i always run the commands related to laravel artisan from the container, or there is something wrong?

Did you try changing permissions of your storage folder? $ sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/your-app-folder/storage — Nick Surmanidze
i have added the line RUN chown -R 775 /var/www/html/storage/ to Dockerfile and i'm getting cannot access '/var/www/html/storage/': No such file or directory when runing docker-compose up — joe_inz
