Docker: appwrite install permission error

Question

I am trying to install appwrite in my local docker, but I encounter some error

First I run this Command then

docker run -it --rm ^
    --volume //var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ^
    --volume "%cd%"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw ^
    --entrypoint="install" ^
    appwrite/appwrite:1.2.1

#2 show some error

Starting Appwrite installation...
Choose your server HTTP port: (default: 80)

Choose your server HTTPS port: (default: 443)

Choose a secret API key, make sure to make a backup of your key in a secure location (default: 'your-secret-key')

Enter your Appwrite hostname (default: 'localhost')

Enter a DNS A record hostname to serve as a CNAME for your custom domains.
You can use the same value as used for the Appwrite hostname. (default: 'localhost')

Answer 1

The install command creates a folder and a couple of files, so you need to ensure you're running it in a location where you have write access. If I recall correctly, Command opens in your system32, a system folder. I suggest changing to another directory (maybe in your home folder) and running the install again (after stopping that getting started container).

Answer 2

For me, the best solution is manual data backup and clear installation. After data backup container removal fixed my problem
