In this specific case, the issue appears only with Docker Desktop (tested on Debian & Fedora) but not Docker Engine.

[goldyfruit]

Docker Desktop is doing some magic to change the permissions, I guess because it's running inside a VM.

If I run chown -R ovos:ovos /tmp when startingthe container, the permission on my host for ~/ovos/tmp/ directory changed to something unknown UID on my system (which is related to the VM created by Docker Desktop).

Before running the container.

ls -l ~/ovos/tmp/ -d 
drwxr-xr-x. 1 goldyfruit goldyfruit 0 Jun 23 10:11 /home/goldyfruit/ovos/tmp/

After running the container.

ls -l ~/ovos/tmp/ -d
drwxr-xr-x. 1 100999 100999 14 Jun 23 10:12 /home/goldyfruit/ovos/tmp/

[goldyfruit]

Aside the Docker Desktop permission issue, the root cause is related to the fact that Open Voice OS is using a /tmp directory to share information across the different services.

The only remaining pieces which require a shared /tmp are related to ipc. I think I saw some PR about that maybe @JarbasAl will have more information about that.

In the meantime, I sent a PR to fix the PID, this will fix the current issue with the messagebus.

@timonvanhasselt Adding you to the conversation/monologue :+1:

[goldyfruit]

In the meantime, I sent a PR to fix the PID, this will fix the current issue with the messagebus.

PR has been merged and new images have been build. You should not get this error anymore but might get different ones.

[goldyfruit]

This is the PR about the IPC https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/OVOS-workshop/pull/102
