Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your question. It sounds like you’re encountering a permission issue when trying to mount a volume in your Docker container on Torizon, specifically when using Visual Studio Code. Let’s go through some steps to help resolve this issue:

1. User Permissions: Ensure that the ‘torizon’ user, which is the default user in Torizon containers, has the necessary permissions to access the directory where the volume is mounted. The ‘torizon’ user should be part of the appropriate groups that allow access to the required resources.

2. Volume Configuration: Double-check your docker-compose.yml file to ensure that the volume is correctly defined and mounted. The volume should be specified in the volumes section and properly mapped to the container path where your application expects to write the log file.

3. File System Permissions: On the host system, verify that the directory used for the volume has the correct permissions set to allow the ‘torizon’ user to read and write. You can adjust these permissions using chmod and chown commands as needed.

4. Visual Studio Code vs. Terminal: Since you mentioned that mounting a volume works when done directly via the terminal, but not through Visual Studio Code, there might be differences in the environment or user context. Ensure that Visual Studio Code is running with the same user permissions and environment settings as when you execute commands directly in the terminal.

5. Avoid Running as Root: While it might be tempting to run the container as root to bypass permission issues, it’s generally not recommended due to security concerns. Instead, focus on configuring the ‘torizon’ user correctly.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the permission errors and successfully mount the volume for persistent storage of your log file. If the issue persists, double-check the Docker and file system configurations for any discrepancies.

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Bind mounting a dynamic /dev resource

What is the preferred way to bind mount a dynamic resource? I have an application which relies on a USB peripheral, /dev/ttyUSB0. Right now, I have /dev/ttyUSB0 configured as a bind-mounted volume in my docker-compose.yml file. This works fine, as long as the peripheral is connected (and, indeed, enumerated as ttyUSB0, which isn’t necessarily always going to be true). Can I have the application instead do the bind mount dynamically? Is this possible within the application container? It seems li…
