I encountered a permission error while trying to build a docker container in a React app.
I tried to make use of the community answers, but didn't help.
Following related discussion I tried:
- I get the current user:
id -un - tried this:
sudo chown -R myUser:myUser /usr/local/lib/node_modules - this also threw the same error:
sudo chown -R ownerName: /usr/local/lib/node_modules - same with this:
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules - adding a user didn't help:
sudo chown -R $USER /app/node_modules - tried to give permission installing this:
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root - another try was to remove node_modules and install specifying
sudo:sudo npm install
Adding this to docker-compose file, didn't help either:
environment: - CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING=true I am trying to build with this command: docker-compose up --build
Dockerfile.dev file
