@ancient-wolf-19325 I'm getting permissions errors when I try to write a local file inside a flyte container (e.g.

./file.txt

). It looks like its because its running from

/root

which seems to cause file permissions issues. Is there a way to deal with those permissions or to run from a different direcrtory?

To address permissions errors when writing files in a Flyte container, you can change the working directory to avoid using

/root

. One approach is to use

flytekit.current_context().working_dir

to set a different working directory. This should help avoid permission issues.

import flytekit

# Change to Flyte's working directory
os.chdir(flytekit.current_context().working_dir)

# Now you can write files without permission issues
with open("file.txt", "w") as f:
    f.write("Hello, Flyte!")

Alternatively, you can specify a different working directory when building your Docker image by using the

WORKDIR

directive in your Dockerfile.

FROM your_base_image

# Set a different working directory
WORKDIR /app

# Copy your application code
COPY . /app

# Install dependencies and other setup
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

# Set the entrypoint
ENTRYPOINT ["python", "your_script.py"]
