### Description

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open ‘//2AEzPaZkFw4zWYk6R’ [ufs: cannot upload file]

For days I have had a problem with RocketChat where Docker is running when I change the location of the uploads from GridFS to FileSystem.  
I had already changed the storage location in the docker Compose file and that had no effect either, it created the folder but it simply didn’t save anything on it. I had also given the folder to test chmod 777 but it keeps bringing me the same error, as if he either doesn’t know the location or has no rights.  
I had already scoured all possible forums, unfortunately without success.  
With rocketchat, where snapd runs, this works without a problem, but with the docker version it just doesn’t work.

with the configuration in volume I have the following:  
Container: / app / data ----\> Bind  
Host: / home / username / file / rocketchat / data  
I did the same with / app / uploads in a separate folder.  
I had already changed it in another directory, but again and again I got the same result.  
With Nextcloud and Apache webserver it worked without any problems.

As an error on the rocketchat website he gives me this error message:  
Error: EACCES: permission denied, open ‘//2AEzPaZkFw4zWYk6R’ [ufs: cannot upload file]

the server log shows me the following despite chmod 777

LocalStore: cannot set store permissions 0744 (EPERM: operation not permitted, chmod ‘/app/uploads’)  
LocalStore: cannot set store permissions 0744 (EPERM: operation not permitted, chmod ‘/app/uploads’)

So on my compose I keep it simple

Set the upload path to /opt/uploads, create a local /opt/uploads and then map them in the compose file:

```
# Specify an absolute path mapping
    volumes:
    - /opt/uploads/:/opt/uploads/

```

You should be able to shell in to the docket instance and check the directory - something like this.

`docker exec -it “container-id” bash`
