NPM Permission error in docker-compose up

[mahsashadi]

Hi

I need to run OS.js with docker-compose up, but I get the following npm error :
npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, access '/usr/src/osjs/node_modules'

I checked the /usr/src/osjs directory in osjs container. I think it must be owned by node user, but it doesn't!

This is probably because you're run the npm command outside the docker context. Remove the node_modules and try again.

And then always run docker-compose exec osjs npm <command> to avoid this problem in the future.

I'm closing this because I'm pretty sure my previous comment is the solution.

Re-open if I'm wrong :D

Unfortunately it didn't work!
I try removing node_modules.
I also try removing previous image and container to make new ones.
I get the following error:

Can you share your file ?

[andersevenrud]

Also, are you on Windows by chance ?

[mahsashadi]

Wich file you mean?
I use docker-compose up right after cloning the source code, i.e. after below commands:

git clone -b master --single-branch https://github.com/os-js/OS.js.git
cd OS.js

No, I am on linux ubuntu 18.04

I use docker-compose up right after cloning the source code, i.e. after below commands:

OK.

I can't reproduce this on any of my [Linux] systems 🤔

Where are you trying to run this on your filesystem, and what user are you doing it as ?

[mahsashadi]

I clone the source code somewhere in my home directory (as what I did previously for running osjs locally)
I try the command with root (and also non-root) user

[andersevenrud]

I just realized that I've set the user in the docker-compose file explicitly:

https://github.com/os-js/OS.js/blob/master/docker-compose.yml#L37

This might be what actually causes the issues as it will use 1000:1000 for the permissions.

Remove that line and try again.

[mahsashadi]

Removing that line works.

How is it recommended to npm install in my own developed packages?
for example in src/client/my-widget

[andersevenrud]

docker-compose exec osjs npm install src/client/my-widget.
