docker-compose: file permission issues with grafana, gitserver, prometheus, redis-store

Created by: ggilmore

  • Sourcegraph version:
  • Platform information:

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install docker and docker-compose on a linux host (Ubuntu 18.04 for my purposes)
  2. Clone https://github.com/sourcegraph/deploy-sourcegraph-docker on to the host
  3. cd docker-compose && docker-compose up -d
  4. See that grafana, gitserver, prometheus, and redis-store all etc. are restarting with file permission issues

Logs:

grafana:

mkdir: can't create directory '/var/lib/grafana/plugins': Permission denied
GF_PATHS_DATA='/var/lib/grafana' is not writable.

gitserver:

2020/01/16 20:22:46 failed to setup temporary directory: mkdir /data/repos/.tmp: permission denied

redis-store
