Hi,
wanted to install YAMS on a fresh clean VM on proxmox.
During the install script I get the following error:
Code: Select all
Using Mullvad username as password
Configuring the docker-compose file for user "yams" in "/opt/yams"...
Copying .env.example to /opt/yams/.env...
.env.example copied successfully ✅
Copying docker-compose.example.yaml to /opt/yams/docker-compose.yaml...
docker-compose.example.yaml copied successfully ✅
Copying docker-compose.custom.yaml to /opt/yams/docker-compose.custom.yaml...
docker-compose.custom.yaml copied successfully ✅
Updating environment configuration...

Updating YAMS CLI configuration...
sed: Temporäre Datei ./sedqBv52U kann nicht geöffnet werden: Keine Berechtigung
Failed to update YAMS CLI script
Last line is: sed: couldn't open temporary file ./sedqBv52U: Permission denied
Any idea how to solve this?
Regards

Hey @daiki!
- What's your OS?
- What version of docker are you using? (the output of
which docker)
- Do you have enough permissions?
Cheers!
Roger.

Hi rogs,
thx for your reply. Sorry should have that included in the first post.
It's a new fresh Debian 12 vm (not lxc) in a proxmox 8.3 host.
All updated.

That is actually perfect, thank you!
Everything looks fine, the .env file is there. Did you try the install again? Do you have the yams script available?
I have never seen this error. It's failing on a sed, which leads me to believe there's a permission error either on /opt/yams (which you just proved there is not), or the place where you cloned yams. Maybe try cloning yams somewhere else where you know for sure the yams user has permissions
Cheers!
Roger.

I tried running the install script some times more.
Even rebooted the vm and rerun the script. Always the Same result.
But I found a solution for my case.
The scripts clones to /tmp/yams.
This folder was owned by root:root.
I've chown'd to my user yams and rerun the script.
Now without errors.
Thanks for the help!
Looking forward to configure.. tomorrow

Excellent! That was what I thought then, a permissions issue where you cloned the repo. Maybe you cloned it with root and then changed to your user.
I'm glad you were able to fix it!
