Greetings,

Issue details

I tried to open the dockerized zwift by doing zwift or sudo zwift and it both cases I receive the following errors messages in 2 distict popus that disappear automatically after a second or two.

There was an error accessing your Documents folder. There was also an error trying to create a Zwift folder on your desktop as a fall-back. This means Zwift can't save any files. Please contact Zwift support.

Zwift is unable to write to the Downloads folder. Check folder permissions. If the problem persists, contact Zwift support with error code ZL07. Would you like to go to the Zwift Support Page now?
