Cannot write to out in build dir from Docker

Environments Linux
1

Im using TravisCI to build packages for the Linux distro Im building, for the past few hours Ive been unable to get run.sh (the script which runs the build process) to run without erroring. Here’s the repository that has the docker stuff (https://github.com/ronixos/docker-build).

The error message:

$ ./run.sh

==> Building repo: core

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/tmp/out/core’: Permission denied

The command "./run.sh" exited with 1.

/tmp/out is setup to write to the out directory in the repository. People say to check file permissions but I don’t need to since the container works on my computer. To show its not a permissions issue, I ran ls -ahl in the build.

$ ls -ahl

Check the current user and permissions from inside Docker, too.

The container run the build process as a user calldd builder. It looks like builder’s uid should be set to 2000 and it’ll work i think.

More likely, to the UID of travis.

5

Alternatively, give write permissions to your internal UID for those directories.
