Docker www-data grant write permissions to var/www

I'm running a php:7.0-apache Docker image, but I have no permissions to write to /var/www/html. How is it possible to grant write rights to this user?

Dockerfile:

FROM php:7.0-apache

# PHP Extensions
RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo_mysql

# Composer
RUN php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
RUN php composer-setup.php
RUN php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
RUN mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

ADD vhost-default.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf

# Open Ports
EXPOSE 80
EXPOSE 443

Host Conf 

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

    <Directory /var/www/html >
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Sergiu's answer is not working, because your volume is bound after chown.

What you should do is that you should run chown after bound to your volume and before start the Apache.

To do that, I add chown command in the apache2-foreground script.

RUN sed -i 's/^exec /chown www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html/\n\nexec /' /usr/local/bin/apache2-foreground

So when you start your container, it will change the permission to www-data.

PS: Your container's user should be in root or a user who can execute chown.

To resolve this you will need to add an extra line in your Dockerfile like:

RUN chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
