Hmm...I can't reproduce this. This seems to be a permissions issue. My hunch says that the user in your Docker container does not have the right permissions.

cc @code-asher how can they fix this?

[YueMiyuki]

Hi there
Yes i know it is a perm issue but my another code-server with the same version work perfectly fine

[jsjoeio]

Ah I see. I didn't realize you were running 3.10.2. Does it happen in the latest version of code-server?

[YueMiyuki]

Same thing happened in the latest version :/
btw i m using a Synology Device

[YueMiyuki]

bruh i miss-click

[jsjoeio]

Hmm...okay so this is a permission issue in your Docker environment 🤔

@code-asher any ideas on how to troubleshoot or fix this?

[code-asher]

What is the Docker command you are running? Does your user have permissions to the directory you are mounting?

[YueMiyuki]

I was creating the container with Docker UI in synology DSM 6.2, and the other code server mounted with same dir works fine like I said before so it should have the right permissions

[code-asher]

I hear ya but we cannot reproduce with the information you have provided so more information (like the commands you use to run the code-server Docker images) may help us identify the issue.

[YueMiyuki]

Hi, sorry for the latency
The commands we used to run the code-server is:

docker run -it --name code-server -p 8701:8080 \
  -v "mds/vm1/projects:/home/coder/project"
  codercom/code-server:latest

Usually this log happens if you left code-server open in a tab or window.

I don't recognize this error 🤔 (though I have seen issues with chokidar before).

[node.js fs] readdir with filetypes failed with error: [Error: EACCES: permission denied, scandir '/home/coder/project'] {

same error 🤔

Noob question: is there a way to check if the Docker user running code-server has access to /home/coder/project? And can we give that user access?

[code-asher]

Huh, this is weird, I am not getting the permission error in the console but I am unable to view or create files in the project directory. Replicated in a Coder environment with this: ``` cd /tmp mkdir test-dir docker run -it --name code-server -p 8080:8080 \ -v "test-dir:/home/coder/project" codercom/code-server:latest --auth none # 1. Open 8080 in a browser # 2. Browse to the project directory # 3. Create or edit a file ``` I am able to `touch test-dir/hello` outside of Docker so I have permissions. ``` $ whoami coder $ touch /tmp/test-dir/hello $ ls -la /tmp/test-dir total 8 drwxrwxr-x 2 coder coder 4096 2021-09-17 12:16 . drwxrwxrwt 1 root root 4096 2021-09-17 12:09 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 coder coder 0 2021-09-17 12:16 hello ```
