Resolving Permission Denied Errors in Docker Builds: A Step-by-Step Guide

When working with Docker, running into errors can be a frustrating experience, especially if you're mid-project. One such common issue arises when executing a docker build command, leading to a daunting error message:

In this guide, we will explore the root causes of this error and provide you with a straightforward solution to resolve it.

Understanding the Problem

The error message indicates that Docker is attempting to access a file located at /home/ubuntu/.docker/buildx/activity/default, but it lacks the required permissions to do so. Interestingly, you may find that other Docker commands, like docker run hello-world, execute without requiring elevated permissions (i.e., sudo). This inconsistency can be confusing.

Contextual Information

To better understand the issue, let's take a look at some background details:

User Permissions: When running ls -ld /home/ubuntu/.docker, you can observe that the directory is owned by the user ubuntu, which is the expected behavior.

Docker Group: The user ubuntu belongs to several groups, including the docker group, which should ideally grant access without requiring sudo.

Solution to the Permission Denied Error

After exploring various potential solutions, the most effective fix was surprisingly simple: removing the problematic file. Follow these steps to resolve the issue.

Step-by-Step Fix

Open your terminal.

Execute the following command to delete the default file that is causing the permission issues:

Try running your Docker build command again to see if the problem persists.

Why this Works

By removing the default file, you essentially reset the state of the Docker build activity. It allows Docker to recreate the necessary files without encountering the previous permission restrictions. This action usually resolves any temporary glitches that may have crept into Docker's configuration.

Conclusion

Meeting roadblocks when using Docker is a common hurdle, but there's often a straightforward solution at hand. In this case, a simple file removal resolved the permission denied error during the Docker build process.

Should you encounter similar issues in the future, remember to check your file permissions, ownership, and try resetting your Docker configurations as needed. Happy Docker building!
