Docker with Galaxy, file permission error on network-attached storage

Hi all,

I’m getting a strange permission error when running galaxy through docker.

I’m running a docker instance of galaxy locally on my centos 7 machine and it’s having trouble accessing a folder I created on our NAS.

From docker, I can create folders on the NAS, so I don’t think the permission error is from docker.

I thought it might be an selinux issue, but I ran sudo setenforce 0 and the permission error persisted.

I feel like I’m poking around in the dark on this error. Do galaxy permissions change when running from the docker container? Is there a way to run galaxy from the command line instead of the gui?

Thanks for your help,
Josh

The traceback is here, the file is trying to create a folder:

Hi all,

The problem was a permission on our NAS.
