## Migrating from a non-Alpine image to an Alpine image

If you already use one of our non-Alpine images, but want to switch to an Alpine-based image, you may experience permissions problems with your existing volumes. This is because the Alpine images uses a different user ID for `www-data`.
So, you must change the ownership of the `/var/www/html` (or `$NEXTCLOUD_DATA_DIR`) folder to be compatible with Alpine:

```console
docker exec container-name chown -R www-data:root /var/www/html
```

After changing the permissions, restart the container and the permission errors should disappear.
