standardnotes_app container crashes with "Permission denied"

[va1entin]

I've been trying to set up standardnotes on my Raspberry Pi 4B with 4GB RAM using docker-compose as advised in the documentation here.

The image build succeeds but afterwards the standardnotes_app_1 container keeps crashing with this error in the logs:

I'll gladly provide more info or test solutions.

Ugly workaround (likey, I have the same issue on a Synology and hope it works for the RPi).

Mount the folders /syncing-server/tmp, /syncing-server/log, and /syncing-server/db separately (create the dirs outside standardnote folder) and chmod -R 777 the hell of them.

Your resulting volumes entry should look like this (I mount them under /volume1/docker/standardnotes-data)

volumes:
      - .:/syncing-server
      - /volume1/docker/standardnotes-data/tmp:/syncing-server/tmp
      - /volume1/docker/standardnotes-data/log:/syncing-server/log
      - /volume1/docker/standardnotes-data/db:/syncing-server/db

I'm having the same issue. I've tried the solution from @dgraziotin but now it's giving an error for /syncing-server/tmp/cache directory with the same message. @va1entin were you able to fix it?

[dgraziotin]

@devgrips are you by chance running the container as root? I found out it was the real issue, related to all those permission errors and others I thought I had.

This might be related to #99

After talking to @standarius we are considering to revert the mentioned PR above until a proper fix is applied that will allow linux Docker users to run it without "permissions denied" issues.
