Openemr/openemr:flex - permission denied error

[simba1309 (Simba)]

I keep getting errors when I deploy to docker.

2023-08-24 17:19:40 chown: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/openemr/.git/objects/pack/pack-0b2dedd03a1a1545b5524afc2a3088db1c8322c7.pack: Permission denied
2023-08-24 17:19:40 chown: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/openemr/.git/objects/pack/pack-0b2dedd03a1a1545b5524afc2a3088db1c8322c7.idx: Permission denied
2023-08-24 17:19:40 chown: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/openemr/.git/objects/info/commit-graph: Permission denied

Ever few seconds the openemr restarts and runs.

How can I resolve this?

Hi @simba1309
You can try out these steps and check,

1. Install docker(for Ubuntu 22.04.1) and check for running for docker service.
   sudo apt install docker.io
   sudo systemctl status docker # if not, start the docker service using ‘sudo systemctl start docker’
2. Pull the docker image and run the image by exposing ports 80 and 443
   sudo docker pull openemr/openemr:flex
   sudo docker run -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --name openemr_flex openemr/openemr:flex
3. The docker takes a series of long steps and finally completes it with this log.
   
4. Try logging into the docker container and check whether the apache is the owner of the openemr directory and check the permissions.
