I tried setting up a rasa project using docker. The command on the website (docker run -v $(pwd):/app rasa/rasa:2.2.4-full init --no-prompt) doesn’t function. I tried it with sudo and antother time while logged in as root user, but I get always the same error. What can I do to fix the permission error? > marco@ubuntuvm:~/Docker$ sudo docker run -v $(pwd):/app rasa/rasa:2.2.4-full init --no-prompt Unable to find image ‘rasa/rasa:2.2.4-full’ locally 2.2.4-full: Pulling from rasa/rasa 6ec7b7d162b2: Already exists 80ff6536d04b: Already exists 6c51d3836e95: Already exists 6ce84404158b: Already exists 6e001f327b45: Already exists b969ce3a984b: Already exists 956b85e90fa3: Pull complete d82f2dbdc45f: Pull complete a6e201e14a0e: Pull complete Digest: sha256:a01c37b8b50adc3333afbb9b68c502dc6f11650cbec90b28353ab98cb8fc0d3b Status: Downloaded newer image for rasa/rasa:2.2.4-full Matplotlib created a temporary config/cache directory at /tmp/matplotlib-482hbnfw because the default path (/.config/matplotlib) is not a writable directory; it is highly recommended to set the MPLCONFIGDIR environment variable to a writable directory, in particular to speed up the import of Matplotlib and to better support multiprocessing. 2021-01-12 09:17:12.104659: W tensorflow/stream\_executor/platform/default/dso\_loader.cc:59] Could not load dynamic library ‘libcudart.so.10.1’; dlerror: libcudart.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 2021-01-12 09:17:12.105253: I tensorflow/stream\_executor/cuda/cudart\_stub.cc:29] Ignore above cudart dlerror if you do not have a GPU set up on your machine. 2021-01-12 09:17:15 WARNING rasa.utils.common - Failed to write global config.

Hi, The rasa container runs as the 1001 user, that’s why you can see an error related to permissions. You can run the container with the same id as the host use id by adding the `-u` flag to the run command, e.g. ```auto sudo docker run -u $(id -u) -v $(pwd):/app rasa/rasa:2.2.4-full init --no-prompt ``` ---

Thank you. Now it works. My intention is to create a docker image on a online server, then export the docker image and import it to an linux offline machine. How can I do that? As I said, the offline machine has absolutely no internet connection. It has only docker. The goal is to run rasa in docker in a offline machine. The only way to import the files is to create all needed data on a online machine and move the files via WinSCP to the offline machine. ---

Hey how did you fix this? I have exactly the same error(s) and the command from tczekajlo does not chance this.
