instance creation permission error

[grantcoultrup]

Hi, I am encountering an error creating the first instance.

It looks like error code 13:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/ampelOctopi1//.e3s1plus/config.yaml'

Even though this error is received, it looks like the instance was still created (for example, I can "delete instance" and this instance is available to be deleted. Same for the associated USB camera.

When running Utility > Instance Status, I see that the instance failed.

Any known fix? Thanks!

Can you verify that you have a config.yaml file in ~/.octoprint? You could do this with: ls ~/.octoprint/config.yaml

[paukstelis]

Further, you could verify the permissions in that directory: ls -la ~/.octoprint

yep I've got config.yaml file.

If you create a new instance, does that new directory also contain the config.yaml?
ls -la ~/.e3s1plus in your example

it doesn't look like it... just in the root directory.

The problem is that the config.yaml file is owned be root. It is not clear why that happened, as the script just copies everything from .octoprint (which doesn't have those permissions).

got it... I'm not 100% proficient so this may be a dumb question... can I duplicate the .yaml file and then copy it to the instance directory? If so could you share some direct for that process?

Doing a little searching it seems that there is a sed command in the script that can lead to random permission changes on some systems. It is not something I have observed before. I think there is fairly simple fix. I will implement in a new branch and have you test that out. Will get back shortly.

Do the following:
git -C octoprint_deploy pull
git -C octoprint_deploy checkout permission
run script: sudo octoprint_deploy/octoprint_deploy.sh
delete the instance, then remake it

Hm, still having issue... see image

A different issue, however. `sudo systemctl status instancename`

Still only seeing config.

yaml file in the root directory

Sorry, ended up in a meeting. You need to give your instance name: sudo sytemctl status e3s1plus

[paukstelis]

see what error you get from the status command.
Then try changing file ownership and restarting the instance:
sudo chown ampelOctopi1 ~/.e3s1plus/config.yaml; sudo chgrp ampelOctopi1 ~/.e3s1plus/config.yaml
sudo systemctl restart e3s1plus
