read-only file system, rmdir '/dist'

[Simon-Piquemal]

Hi, I need information on how to get around this problem. I created a docker file that I deployed on the Cloudron server but I get this error message towards the end:

To give you a little more detail, this is a nestjs project, so when the image is built, the typescript is compiled and put in another folder to run, and I also have files that are written and read inside (it's a pdf generation from a url).

You may need to make /dist a symlink to /app/data or /run

Thank you, I'll take a look at it and get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you

Sorry, my comments are in French but it still doesn't work. I think I have misconfigured my docker.

This is not really readable, please but your code in code brackets.
ps: edit your post to avoid posting duplicates

What are code brackets, and how do I use them?

I've improved my message so it's more visible. in fact I have the impression that my folder link isn't working. because I still get this message: EROFS: read-only file system, rmdir '/dist'.
In a Nestjs project, the typescript compiler code will go into this dist file and inside it there will be read, write and delete operations. This is inside my docker container. So my question is how to either fix this docker to transfer it to another folder that has these permissions or how to change the permissions. In fact I have the impression that the construction of the image works well but to start the docker and start to make operations in this folder it does not work because there are restrictions as it is written in the doc.

I am not familiar with how nestjs works during startup, but something tries to wholesale rm the /dist folder. I guess it tries to rebuild the app on startup? You may have to copy the app from read-only to /run first thing in start.sh and then start the app and not symlink the folder? Just a guess though.
