Can you run 'ls -al' in the /opt/trains/data folder and also in the /opt/trains/data/elastic_7 folder and send the output?

Ok, it was indeed something with permission. When I chown everything to root (1000) and chmod 777 it worked. 777 is of course not desirable, so I'm going to narrow it down now.

Thank you for the reply! The migration indeed created this elastic_7 folder.

Same problem with 775

If you run the following command 'sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /opt/trains' does it change anything?

Hi DefeatedCrab47 , ES docker requires that it is data folder belongs to 1000:1000 user and group. If you want to transfer your existing data from trains 15.1 then please follow the guide https://allegro.ai/docs/deploying_trains/trains_server_es7_migration/
The script that is run in this guide should create elastic_7 folder with the correct permissions and transfer all your existing data

Ok it's that the user group also has to be root. I ran the following:
sudo chmod 775 -R /opt/trains/ sudo chown -R root:root /opt/trainsand it works.

It seems that it has to be 775 with both user and group as root. E.g. 771 does not work, because than the docker command has to be used with sudo (if I want to use my default sudo-user account)

Is it possible it's not just about the root user, but also the root group?

AppetizingMouse58 If I:
sudo chmod 771 -R /opt/trains/(taking all permission away from other except execution)
The file permission error comes back, even though everything is under the root user.
