PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/config'

I am using the python version of the program, and for some reason I can load the config-file I've created, under the config-folder, but I get an error running the program.

Full stack-trace:

I've tried changing the owner to myself, with chown, and I've tried to give all files permission 777 with chmod.

It appears that Plex-Auto-Languages wrongly identify your environment as a Docker container one, that's why it's trying to create a /config directory.

Could you give me additional information about your operating system ? Are running inside a VM or LXC container ?

If either one of the following conditions is true, Plex-Auto-Languages assumes that it runs inside a Docker container:

• The file /.dockerenv exists
• The file /proc/self/cgroup exists and contains at least a line with the work docker in it
• The environment variable CONTAINERIZED exists and is set to true

Could you check these conditions and provide the results ? Thanks.

I'm trying to run this inside a VM.

• /.dockerenv does indeed exist
• The file /proc/self/cgroup exists and contains 12 lines with the word docker in it
• The environment variable CONTAINERIZED does not exist

Is there a way of overriding this behaviour?
