[BUG] configs: sets incorrect file permissions #12794

@ee-github

Description

Description

When using configs: to inject a file from within Docker Compose, the file permissions become 440 instead of 444 as expected by the documentation here: https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/services/#configs

Steps To Reproduce

Create a compose file with some container and the following:

configs:
  - source: init-mongo.js
    target: /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init-mongo.js

Observe that the permissions are not "world readable" as per the defaults described in the docs.

docker exec -it my_container bash
root@0104be4681ac:/# ls -la /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Apr 29 23:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Apr 29 23:08 ..
-r--r----- 1 root root  238 Apr 29 23:08 init-mongo.js
root@0104be4681ac:/#

Explicitly set the file permissions with the 'mode' keyword. Then observe that the permissions are as configured.

configs:
  - source: init-mongo.js
    target: /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init-mongo.js
    mode: 0444
docker exec -it my_container bash
root@3f3c2d84cb04:/# ls -la /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Apr 29 23:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Apr 29 23:11 ..
-r--r--r-- 1 root root  238 Apr 29 23:11 init-mongo.js
root@3f3c2d84cb04:/# 

Observed on Docker Compose version v2.34.0 on Ubuntu22

Ran into the issue when with the MongoDB container/service in this compose file (which seems to rely on the default permissions being 0444 as per the documentation): https://github.com/GiuseppeGalilei/Unifi-Network-Application/blob/main/Unifi%20network%20Application%20-%20Generic/docker-compose.yml
