Hello ,
I try to configure a docker laravel app , when I try to run: docker-compose exec app php artisan key:generate
it returns me permission error :
UnexpectedValueException
The stream or file "/var/www/storage/logs/laravel.log" could not be opened in append mode: Failed to open stream: Permission denied

I'm wondering if this error is related to Dockerfile
Docker file :

CMD ["php-fpm"]
Do I miss something in my Dockerfile ?
