What are the permissions of data/upload

[thimomulder]

The folder data/upload/ doesn't excist. The folder data is created by me with the permissions set at 0755

If you're running on a SELinux-enabled system, such as RHEL/Fedora, you will also need to specify to unshare the SELinux label for the container to be able to access the volume.

This is done with amending the :z/:Z flag to volume mount declarations.

Also see:

• Dealing with user namespaces and SELinux on rootless containers

@almereyda Adding the :z/:Z flag fixed the problem thanks!
