I did go through the suggesstions in following posts [image] Plugin using own gem Dev Gems declared in a plugin are installed and loaded differently as per our implementation: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/plugin/instance.rb#L353-L381 …

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.

This is not how you include gems, [image] Plugin with custom gems dev Add your gem dependencies (all the dependency tree) to your plugin.rb file: https://github.com/xfalcox/discourse-backups-to-dropbox/blob/master/plugin.rb#L7-L13 The version has to be specific, you…

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.
