Docker-Compose error after removing containers

Question

I went to delete some containers on Docker to bring them up again and Docker-Compose is not moving the images up anymore.

I’m getting the following error:

Building application Traceback (most recent call last):   

 File "site-packages/docker/utils/build.py", line 96, in create_archive PermissionError: 
  [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/richar/Área de Trabalho/projeto mensi2/projeto-mensis/mysql/data/ca-key.pem'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

File "bin/docker-compose", line 6, in <module>
File "compose/cli/main.py", line 71, in main
File "compose/cli/main.py", line 127, in perform_command

OSError: Can not read file in context: /home/richar/Área de Trabalho/projeto mensi2/projeto-mensis/mysql/data/ca-key.pem
[5820] Failed to execute script docker-compose

I’m new to linux, how can I fix this?

Answer 1

This is giving permission error in a Mysql file, probably because you are creating a database volume by setting a local folder,

You can delete Mysql folder, this will erase the database

sudo rm -R ./mysql/data

or change permission

sudo chmod 777 -R ./mysql

Try this in the project directory
