Permission denied when creating a directory inside Docker container – Docker

The Problem:

While creating a directory inside a Docker container using the ‘os.makedirs’ function, a ‘Permission denied’ error occurs. The user running the container (user 1000) does not have sufficient permissions to create the directory. The Dockerfile does not specify any specific permissions for the user. As a result, the user does not have the necessary permissions to create the directory.

The Solutions:

Solution 1: Change ownership of the /app/data directory

You can modify your Dockerfile to change the ownership of the /app/data directory to the nonroot user. This will grant the user with UID 1000 (nonroot) write access to the directory and allow you to create the /app/data/model directory and extract into it succesfully.

USER root
RUN mkdir /app/data && chown -R nonroot:nonroot /app/data
