Hi, I’m using custom docker-compose to run rasa on VM(ubuntu-20.04), I’m getting error PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘models’ docker-compose file is in etc/rasa directory, I also did this command `sudo chgrp -R root /etc/rasa/* && sudo chmod -R 770 /etc/rasa/*` but still get same error. What am I missing? FYI, model is trained already once docker image was built ---

@jpark2111 can you share the actual error screenshot from the docker logs ? ---

@jpark2111 I know the solution but me confused, please share the all `docker` and `docker-compose` files and even `docker ps` screenshots. Thanks. ---

@jpark2111 Now make sense to me 🙂 Can you share the docker files please quickly? ---

@jpark2111 there is no rasa install and why are you using Python 3.8-slim if you are not creating any env? @jpark2111 **For Demo use only:** ```auto FROM rasa/rasa:2.8.0 WORKDIR '/app' COPY . /app USER root # WORKDIR /app # COPY . /app COPY ./data /app/data RUN rasa train VOLUME /app VOLUME /app/data VOLUME /app/models CMD ["run","-m","/app/models","--enable-api","--cors","*","--debug" ,"--endpoints", "endpoints.yml", "--log-file", "out.log", "--debug"] ``` Try to update your docker file, take something from code 🙂 OR Just try to mention `USER root` in your file and check. But, I have a doubt it will not run again. Even, your run command doesn’t have the model and you also do not mount the model in the docker container, show how he will run the model? The solution here is `USER root` that’s why it shows **Permission denied.** @jpark2111 For running completely code in docker and docker-compose for Rasa Open source please visit this thread: [Dockerizing my rasa chatbot application that has botfront - #11 by nik202](http://forum.rasa.com/t/dockerizing-my-rasa-chatbot-application-that-has-botfront/46096/11) If you still have some burning questions or doubt, you know I’m here 🙂 Good Luck! I hope this will help you. ---
