Fake CHT: Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir

I get an error when I follow the steps to run the Fake CHT:

@mrjones-plip I got a very similar error when running the latest from main:

However, it turns out this was just because the volume path needed to be updated in docker-compose.fake-cht.yml. Can you try again with a completely fresh checkout of https://github.com/medic/cht-monitoring/tree/20_fix_internal_links and see if you still face the same issue?

hrm - that is not a fix for me - I still get the error. Here's exact steps I took (from bash history). Note that gco is a Oh My Zsh short hand for git checkout origin:

git clone git@github.com:medic/cht-monitoring.git deleteme
cd deleteme
gco 20_fix_internal_links
cp cht-instances.example.yml cht-instances.yml\ncp grafana/grafana.example.ini grafana/grafana.ini\nmkdir -p grafana/data && mkdir  -p prometheus/data \nsudo apt install -y wamerican  # ensures /usr/share/dict/words is present for shuf call below \ncp .env.example .env\n
vim cht-instances.yml
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f development/fake-cht/docker-compose.fake-cht.yml up -d
docker kill $(docker ps -q)
docker logs deleteme-fake-cht-1

So weird! I can follow the exact same steps and it works fine for me. :thinking:

[mrjones-plip]

so...you know, we have this in the docker-compose.fake-cht.yml:

volumes:
  - ./development/fake-cht:/home/node/app

So I just hit with some chmod and it was happy :shrug:

chmod 777 development/fake-cht/package*
chmod 777 development/fake-cht/last-response.json

But 775 wasn't enough FYI!
