Hmm...I can't reproduce this. This seems to be a permissions issue. My hunch says that the user in your Docker container does not have the right permissions.

cc @code-asher how can they fix this?

Hi there
Yes i know it is a perm issue but my another code-server with the same version work perfectly fine

Ah I see. I didn't realize you were running 3.10.2. Does it happen in the latest version of code-server?

Same thing happened in the latest version :/
btw i m using a Synology Device

bruh i miss-click

@code-asher

Hmm...okay so this is a permission issue in your Docker environment 🤔

@code-asher any ideas on how to troubleshoot or fix this?

What is the Docker command you are running? Does your user have permissions to the directory you are mounting?

I was creating the container with Docker UI in synology DSM 6.2, and the other code server mounted with same dir works fine like I said before so it should have the right permissions

I hear ya but we cannot reproduce with the information you have provided so more information (like the commands you use to run the code-server Docker images) may help us identify the issue.

Hi, sorry for the latency
The commands we used to run the code-server is:

docker run -it --name code-server -p 8701:8080 \
  -v "mds/vm1/projects:/home/coder/project"
  codercom/code-server:latest

Here is full log after startup, with the latest version

The error changes after updating to latest

Usually this log happens if you left code-server open in a tab or window.

I don't recognize this error 🤔 (though I have seen issues with chokidar before).

[node.js fs] readdir with filetypes failed with error: [Error: EACCES: permission denied, scandir '/home/coder/project'] {

same error 🤔

Noob question: is there a way to check if the Docker user running code-server has access to /home/coder/project? And can we give that user access?

Huh, this is weird, I am not getting the permission error in the console but I am unable to view or create files in the project directory. Replicated in a Coder environment with this: ``` cd /tmp mkdir test-dir docker run -it --name code-server -p 8080:8080 \ -v "test-dir:/home/coder/project" codercom/code-server:latest --auth none # 1. Open 8080 in a browser # 2. Browse to the project directory # 3. Create or edit a file ``` I am able to `touch test-dir/hello` outside of Docker so I have permissions. ``` $ whoami coder $ touch /tmp/test-dir/hello $ ls -la /tmp/test-dir total 8 drwxrwxr-x 2 coder coder 4096 2021-09-17 12:16 . drwxrwxrwt 1 root root 4096 2021-09-17 12:09 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 coder coder 0 2021-09-17 12:16 hello ```

Interesting fact: my another code server ( 3.10.2 387b12e ) which I create some months ago works just fine. I have no idea why the new code server wont work even when mounting on the same dir...

Screen shots:

Are you running the exact same command while inside the exact same directory except swapping out `code-server:latest` for `code-server:3.10.2`? This seems more likely to be related to Docker than to code-server based on the results so far but if the reproduction steps have changed please post an update!

Yes I am very sure I am running the same command and im in the same dir, I followed the docs 🤔

Hmm I have no idea why the mounting logic would be different from one image to another. When I try on 3.10.2 with a relative path it breaks just like 3.12.0 does. It seems to be a Docker issue? Here is what I tried: ``` $ cd /tmp $ mkdir test-dir $ docker run -it --name code-server -p 8080:8080 -v "test-dir:/home/coder/project" codercom/code-server:3.10.2 --auth none # Browse to localhost:8080 # Create a file using the file explorer in /home/coder/project # Get "permission denied" ``` If you use an absolute path instead of relative does it work?

Interestingly, when I try to install code server out of docker, everything works damn fine, so I guess that's an issue produced by docker. I will try to debug by reinstalling docker 🙃

Alright guys, the same command works perfectly fine on Ubuntu 20.04, but it just won't work on DSM. I have no idea what the heck is happening...

It So confusing... I just open a new droplet on digital ocean and test it... it worked totally fine...

Strange, maybe wiping Docker clean and re-pulling the images will help?

guys this is interesting
After adding —pid=host into the command, everything works fine!
I have never seen something like this before.. Any idea?

I have just reinstalled the docker... The image works just fine.. Even without --pid=host
So I guess this is an installation issue?

It could be! Maybe related to cache somehow.

Interesting! Should we close this now?

Yes, thank for your help!
