I got the same error from my digital ocean server

UPDATE: Fixed by manually create the folders /home/coder/project

You tried to bind mount of a directory you do not own? we had a discussion about this on #679 but it seems they're still having a debate about the permissions inside the container (which should be irrelevant)

+1

[sr229]

As a temporary workaround, try running chinodesuuu/coder:ubuntu and volume mount to your PWD.

$ docker run  -p 9000:9000 -v ${PWD}:/home/coder/projects chinodesuuu/coder:ubuntu

Not working for me. I tried both options. @sr229 I also tried yours but I get 404 when I check my domain.tld:9000 but at least the service seems to be running:

....

I also don't know why there is a permission issue, I am running this as root

[saurshaz]

In my case an un-ncecessarily pasted cmd: npm start in docker-compose.ym was the cause :)

[sr229]

This is more of a misconfiguration so I'll close this off now.
