Bitbucket Server has been installed in a Docker container and Dropbox is used as the volume where $BITBUCKET_HOME is located.
Cause
Using Dropbox as a host volume causes issues due to the way permissions are handled.
Resolution
Do not use Dropbox as the host volume. A local or NFS volume should be used instead.
