Docker [Errno 13] Permission denied error when running with --u=$(id -u $USER):$(id -g $USER)-CodePudding

I try to run a docker container with a tkinter gui app in python and x11 forwarding for a machine learning application. When I run the image with

sudo docker run --runtime=nvidia --gpus='all' --net=host --env="DISPLAY" --volume="$HOME/.Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority:rw" -i ganspace

I got the following display connection error, but the app seams to run

If I run the image in the following way with

sudo docker run -u=$(id -u $USER):$(id -g $USER) -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw --rm -it --runtime=nvidia --gpus='all' ganspace

the display connection is working (I tested it with another tkinter image), but I got the following permission error due to the user I think

Any ideas how to fix this or another solution to have the right permission and get the connection to the display correctly? thanks in advance!

CodePudding user response：

It says permission issue because current user is not having the permission for

/ganspace/models/checkpoints directory

Add the below line in your Dockerfile to give permission for that path

 RUN chmod -R 777 /ganspace/models/checkpoints

Note: 777 gives full permission. change it accordingly based on what all permission you require. check permissions in linux
