Difficulties running on Centos 7 #9

Description

@delugach

Running on Centos 7.5.1804 with docker build 8633870/1.13.1.

I have encountered some problems with docker-dropbox. I've played a bit with the build myself and found the following:

  1. The Dockerfile requires chmod 755 /root/dropbox.py in order to run the script in the container, but that is moot, since the dropbox.py script keeps saying that Dropbox isn't running, even when it is. This is a problem because otherwise there is no way to control Dropbox sync (e.g., use "exclude") so now it synchronizes all of my Dropbox folders, not just the ones I want on Centos.

  2. I could not get supervisord to ever find files in /dropbox (e.g., the dropbox executable) after it was mounted with "run". By leaving the dist files under /root I could get them to run properly.

  3. After all is said and done, all sync-ed files are owned by root on the host machine. How will I be able to use applications that write to the Dropbox folders? I feel that permission problems are going to be the biggest hurdle.

I very much appreciate the work to get this going, but so far it is not working for me. Any suggestions?
