Problem using unoconvert inside docker container

[lpwxyz]

Hi

I have a issue running unoconvert inside the docker container.

Running container

Listing files inside the mounted volume

Command and error

worker@33a3416026b7:~$ unoconvert /data/teste.odt /data/teste.pdf

What am I doing wrong?

I'll try to see if I can reproduce. Just to confirm - the container has the correct permissions for the mounted volume?

Please try the following commands (what output do you get):

/data $ id
/data touch test.txt
/data $ ls -la

Also, check the README regarding using option -z/-Z if you are using SELinux.

Do you get the same error if don't enter the container but convert directly from command line?

It seems that the docker container does not have write access to that directory.

For a quick fix do chmod a+w . outside of the container (standing in the same directory).

Alternatives are:

1. change the owner of the directory (and files) to the docker user.
2. add the docker user to the group that owns the directory and the files in it.

Thanks, it worked.
