Interesting. From the code, I can tell there is a problem with permissions to create directories. You may try to change groups or permissions (or both) to your .cargo folder. That could solve this issue. Please let me know if it was the case.

As we can see here: https://github.com/Chleba/netscanner/blob/30e3fbb9394e397231147b34bdac966de648ae80/src/utils.rs#L148 We're calling file system function that want to create some directories. In this case data directory. You can change path of those directories in the .envrc file (https://github.com/Chleba/netscanner/blob/main/.envrc) so that it you point into a folder where your user have perrmissions.

btw. try changing group of netscanner binary file to root:thomasbratt - that should help. Let me know how it went.

@thomasbratt any luck?

Because of no other pieces of information, I'm closing this issue that was happening thanks to incorrect permissions.
