I am trying to work on a project which involves using rasa, when I run sudo docker-compose up , I get the following error .
Starting ask-my-doctor_rasa_1 ... done

I have also tried to just keep the container running and tried to login and create a file just to check and there as well I get the "permission denied" message.
How do I solve this permission issue?
Any help would be appreciated.
When using the docker-compose method to run Rasa, several folders will be mounted into the containers.
I suspect that the group and permissions of the mounted directories are not correct.
Can you please try this:
# Go to root folder of your deployment folder.
# Default is /etc/rasa, but from your error image, I see it is different.
cd ~/Project/ask-my-doctor
# Set group & permissions for everything in that folder
sudo chgrp -R root * && sudo chmod -R 770 *
# Correct group & permissions for the database
sudo chown -R 1001 db && sudo chmod -R 750 /db
A detailed explanation of these steps can be found in the rasa docs, for Linux/macOS users:
The Rasa containers are following Docker’s best practices and are not running as root user. Hence, please make sure that the root group has read and write access to the following directories and their content:
To set the permissions and group for everything in /etc/rasa you can use this command, but make sure to correct it for the /etc/rasa/db directory as described in the next step:
sudo chgrp -R root /etc/rasa/* && sudo chmod -R 770 /etc/rasa/*
If you are mounting different or extra directories, please adapt their permissions accordingly.
Postgres Database Storage Configure persistent Postgres database storage
On Linux, a local directory is used for persistent Postgres database storage. You must set the correct owner and permissions of the database persistence directory using this command:
sudo chown -R 1001 /etc/rasa/db && sudo chmod -R 750 /etc/rasa/db
