Permission denied to volume directory

I've set a custom a custom ELASTICSEARCH_DATADIR ARG in my Dockerfile /data which is the same directory my volume is configured to /data However when I deploy I get the following error

ElasticsearchException[failed to bind service]; nested: AccessDeniedException[/data/nodes];

Any ideas what might be the issue here? The volume is definitely connected to the service using it.

send the dockerhub page for the docker image youre using please

Dmitry•7mo ago

https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/elasticsearch My Dockerfile looks like this

FROM bitnami/elasticsearch:7.17.15

ARG ELASTICSEARCH_DATADIR=/data

FROM bitnami/elasticsearch:7.17.15

ARG ELASTICSEARCH_DATADIR=/data

I've also tried ELASTICSEARCH_DATA_DIR_LIST but that gives the same permission denied error

Brody•7mo ago

why are you using a dockerfile for that? just deploy the image

Dmitry•7mo ago

Don't I need to specify a custom data directory for my volume?

Brody•7mo ago

what is the data directory elasticsearch defaults to?

Dmitry•7mo ago

Not sure tbh.. let me check If you've installed ES on Linux, the default data folder is in /var/lib/elasticsearch (CentOS) or /var/lib/elasticsearch/data (Ubuntu) So /var/lib/elasticsearch/data I would assume?

Dmitry•7mo ago

Oh... Should I make the volume be at /bitnami then?

Brody•7mo ago

yes

Dmitry•7mo ago

Gotcha.. let me try that 🙂

Brody•7mo ago

forego the dockerfile please just deploy the image

Dmitry•7mo ago

Ok yeah sorry.. i'm still learning 😄 Trying to get ES working on Temporal 😅

Brody•7mo ago

you will also need a service variable RAILWAY_RUN_UID set to 0

Dmitry•7mo ago

Ok I think it's using the volume now?

[railway] using [1] data paths, mounts [[/bitnami (/dev/zvol/railway_0/vol_f2b6lmj27qc9auw0)]]

😄 I think? Gotta wait and see if the disk usage goes up I guess

Brody•7mo ago

you are, railway does indeed use a zvol

Dmitry•7mo ago

Sweet!!! Thanks so much for your help! 🙌🏻
