I tried to upgrade Discourse from Admin UI, but failed due to “Operation not permitted” error

```plaintext
$ cd /var/www/discourse && git fetch && git reset --hard HEAD@{upstream}
warning: unable to unlink app/assets/javascripts/admin/models/report.js: Operation not permitted
warning: unable to unlink app/assets/javascripts/discourse/templates/search/category_result.hbs: Operation not permitted
warning: unable to unlink app/assets/javascripts/discourse/templates/search/post_result.hbs: Operation not permitted

```

Tried looking for similar topic in this forum, but not found. So I have to create this topic. Here is the Linux account detail:

- The docker software is installed with `sudo apt-get`, by _kaka\_root_ user. This user is normal user, but is “sudoer”.
- The git repo _discourse\_docker_ is cloned by _kaka\_dev_ user. This user is not “sudoer”. This user can run `./launcher ssh app` successfully, and become _root_ inside container after that. This user can also run `./launcher rebuild app` successfully.
- Inside container, the folder _/var/www/discourse/_ is under _discourse_ user.

Platform detail:  
Linux hostname 3.5.0-52-generic #79~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 4 21:03:49 UTC 2014 x86\_64 x86\_64 x86\_64 GNU/Linux

I can upgrade Discourse successfully with `./launcher` command. But my team want to be able to do in Admin UI.

How can I solve this?  
Thanks and regards.
