Troubleshooting Phoenix Deployment Error on Kubernetes AWS Cluster

·May 23, 2024 01:22 AM

Hello everyone, I am trying to deploy Phoenix on Kubernetes with the base example on my AWS cluster. When I apply the manifests I get this error: Failed to initialize the working directory at /mnt/data due to an error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/mnt/data/exports'.Phoenix requires a working directory to persist data I am using version 4.1.1 of the docker image. Does anyone know what can I do? When I deploy it on my machine using minikube it works correctly

Hi Gilbert A. it’ll take a little bit to catch up but we changed our default images to run as root for the time being to avoid these issues. For now if you pull arizephoenix/phoenix:nightly you should pull an image with root permissions

I understand, then I'll try it!!, thanks! 😄 Do you have an estimated time for the solution?

Hey Gilbert A. you can also solve it "the right way" if you'd like https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/security-context/

You can also use PostGresql instead 😉

Gilbert A. This should be resolved if you pull main.

We've switched the default arizephoenix/phoenix image to run as root, which means you will no longer encounter these kinds of permission issues. However, as Mikyo points out, it is probably safer to run as non-root, so we have provided a non-root image under the nonroot tag.
