open /home/michael/.scrypted/docker-compose.yml: permission denied

[mbierman]

Running the script, I get the error above:

[loxK]

Same issue over here, Ubuntu Jammy.

My user is in the docker group, I can docker ps.

[bjia56]

Try sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.scrypted

[loxK]

It is already owned by my user.

Seems like some permission incompatibility with docker compose, even after adding the user to docker group, full perms on the folder it was still failing.

reverted to https://github.com/koush/scrypted/wiki/Installation:-Docker-Linux

After some more troubleshooting:

Assuming you are using Ubuntu! and installed using Docker using ubuntu methods/during install, then it uses SNAP.
I've had numerous issues with SNAP variants before and done some digging, hopefully this should work.

sudo snap remove docker

If cannot remove then use -> sudo snap remove docker --purge

**sudo snap remove --purge docker

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker /etc/docker
sudo groupdel docker
sudo rm -rf /var/run/docker.sock

##Install the normal docker package
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh ./get-docker.sh --dry-run

#Assuming that there were no errors in the dry run to fix
sudo sh ./get-docker.sh

##wait for install to complete

##Add the required/running users who's going to be running the package
(Depending on you OS/User security requirements this may change))

sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp - docker

##Check that the current user can run docker containers
docker run hello-world

##Install Scrypted using docker compose

mkdir -p ~/.scrypted
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/koush/scrypted/main/install/docker/install-scrypted-docker-compose.sh > ~/.scrypted/install-scrypted-docker-compose.sh
sudo SERVICE_USER=$USER bash ~/.scrypted/install-scrypted-docker-compose.sh
