Jutta Schnabel (Jan 11 2024 at 15:10): Jutta Schnabel (Jan 11 2024 at 15:10):Another PS: In the installation now when trying to upload a file through the web interface, the file is not staged (similar to the issue described here: https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/7pbPBOnix7M/m/ZIznjSFqAwAJ), so no file upload is possible. Not sure if that is related?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 11 2024 at 15:27):Weird. Any errors in Payara's server.log? You could try docker logs dataverse-1 (I think it's dataverse-1. You can do a docker ps to get the name of the container.)
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 18:24):Sorry, again missed the reply due to the move to the new channel, and thanks for the hint: it says "Temp directory is not configured."
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 18:24):and before "Failed to create filesTempDirectory: /dv/temp"
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 18:34):The /dv-folder exists but creating a subfolder is not permitted (also not manually). There is no /dv/temp.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 12 2024 at 18:55):Hmm, yes, that would explain why you can't upload files.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 12 2024 at 18:56):Can you mount /dv differently, with write permission?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 12 2024 at 18:56):I'm not sure why you're seeing this. :thinking:
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 19:15):I tried a chmod, but it is not permitted
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 19:24):entered the container now as root, changed to write permissions on /dv and added a /temp, but now the new error is "Failed to process and/or save the file km3net_logo_trans.png; /dv/temp/tmp16526284070961205053upload"
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 19:31):OK, now I manually created /dv/temp from root, changed permission to a+w, and now it works
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 12 2024 at 19:31):Oh, great!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 12 2024 at 19:32):But what happens the next time you spin up Dataverse in Docker? You'd have to do those steps manually?
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 19:33):I hope not :) Anyhow, with the changes from Oliver I try not to touch the containers again...
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 19:35):Thanks again for the help!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 12 2024 at 19:35):Sure. I wonder what's different about your setup. I'm on a Mac and it works fine. The test runners in GitHub Actions are Ubuntu and it works fine.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 12 2024 at 19:37):The main place where we're seeing problems in this area is Windows.
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 19:37):I am not so deep into containers, so not sure where the permission problems come from
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 12 2024 at 19:38):Yeah, me neither. :sweat_smile:
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 19:39):Could still hope that it's only an issue because there is something strange in my setup...
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 20:04):well, the celebration was premature. Staging now works, but saving not - "Error. Failed to add files to dataset ..."
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 20:06):The error: "java.lang.RuntimeException: Error creating temp directory" and "failed to save the file"
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 20:18):Summary: After changing the permissions not only in /dv/temp but also for /dv to all, storage of the file works (in /dv/store). The java exception was caused by trying to upload a logo for the theme.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 12 2024 at 20:23):A theme for a collection/dataverse, I suppose.
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 20:29):for the root dataverse, yes.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 12 2024 at 20:30):There are probably even more places where temp directories are created so we should fix this. :sweat_smile:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 12 2024 at 20:31):I'm hoping one of the people who know Docker better (Oliver or Guillermo) can help next week.
Jutta Schnabel (Jan 12 2024 at 20:33):Thanks! So far we can live with the dataverse logo :wink:
