Hi guys I need some help. I’m trying to install OneAgent as a docker container on my physical host (ubuntu 20.4) and it gets pretty difficult to get it done. My “docker run” command is formatted as below: docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped --privileged=true --pid=host --net host --name=oneagent -v /:/mnt/root -e ONEAGENT\_INSTALLER\_SCRIPT\_URL=“https://.live.dynatrace.com/api/v1/deployment/installer/agent/unix/default/latest?arch=x86&flavor=default” -e ONEAGENT\_INSTALLER\_DOWNLOAD\_TOKEN=\ dynatrace/oneagent oneagent APP\_LOG\_CONTENT\_ACCESS=1output is: Started agent deployment as a container, PID 978125. Downloading agent to /tmp/Dynatrace-OneAgent-Linux.sh via https://.live.dynatrace.com/api/v1/deployment/installer/agent/unix/default/latest?arch=x86&flavor=default Download complete Warning: Cannot change permissions of /mnt/host\_root/opt directory to u+rwx,g+rx,o+rx. Warning: Cannot create /mnt/host\_root/opt/dynatrace/oneagent directory. mv: cannot move ‘/tmp/Dynatrace-OneAgent-Linux.sh’ to ‘/mnt/host\_root/opt/dynatrace/oneagent/Dynatrace-OneAgent-Linux.sh’: No such file or directory Why am I getting this permission error? I supposed docker daemon runs as a root privileges. I ran other older images too and got same problem. I do it on a virtual machine and get no error, but it does not solve my problem. I don’t know how to solve that. Any help, please? ---

It was strange but docker permission gave me the problem. I removed docker from my system and reinstalled again and that annoying problem asking for sudo to run docker can be solved doing that: - sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER But I don’t know if first persistent running oneagent container was doing the problem. Here my steps: - stopped oneagent container - I wiped out docker - reinstalled docker again - Remove all images and containers - I do not add my user to docker group yet - I ran docker oneagent install just using sudo Now I can have it running ok.
