I did go through the suggesstions in following posts [image] Plugin using own gem Development Gems declared in a plugin are installed and loaded differently as per our implementation: In order to get it to work, you’ll have to specify all the gem’s dep…

I don’t know, but you might make sure that the directory that is getting to write to is world writable.

I can run the plugin locally… But in the server, the docker rebuild causes this issue. Are you suggesting that I should enter inside docker, and change the permissions of folder to writable? I will try that out, but if it would have been possible from plugin itself, it would be great.

Apparently, the most salient part of my earlier message was “I don’t know”. :slight_smile:

Hi @sam , thanks for answer. I tried this many times in different configurations, but it failed. Then I came to know real cause, though I do not know the solution When I install the discourse-backups-to-dropbox plugin from github (plugin that you shared), the docker builds properly. But if I put it…

I still don’t know. If sounds like a permissions problem. You might chmod - r 777 the repo after you clone it.

You are awesome @pfaffman . Thanks :slight_smile: :+1:

[image] pfaffman: chmod - r 777 That is one hell of a scary advice. I advise to figure out which user needs write permissions, and then chown it to that user, keeping the permissions at 0755.

Thanks :slight_smile: , Yes I am now rebuilding with 755. Atleast I got to know where the issue was. I had been struggling with this for 3 days …

Yes. Once you see if that fixes it and what the ownership of the files created are, you should take steps to lock things back down.
