We're finding that we're seeing this on new deploys:

root@144f17f3106e:/var/www/html/wp-content# ls -la

drwxr-xr-x 2 root     root     4096 May 21 14:00 uploads

wp-content/uploads folder isn't writable by www-data and is instead owned by root breaking uploads in the GUI.

Fix is to go in the containers

abra app run foo.bar app bash

and run

chown -R www-data:www-data uploads/

Any idea on the cause?
