Hello, I'm not able to reproduce this issue. Please ensure you're running docker compose up in the correct directory - a directory containing a subdirectory puter with the sub-directories data and config.

Also you may want to know that running with docker compose currently comes with a disadvantage. The development console gets completely obliterated by Docker and you will be unable to get the password for the admin user or run any dev console commands.

I have the same problem.
Did a fresh installation.

There are two options described how to do puter with docker.
None of them worked for me.

Same here- i mounted two new docker volumes to puter. Same result. Its a permission issue. If you really chown the directories and/or volumes like stated (chown -R 1000:1000 puter) you are allowed to write.
This is just a workaround in my opinion...

Best regards

Nope, this doesn't work for me.
I tried every right I know.
The UID 1000 is set in the yml file right?
Because 1000 is another user for me. Not the one running the container.

Didn't work for me... It's frustrating.
