If you encounter any issues with filesystem permissions while visiting your application or running a container command, try completing one of the sets of steps below.

**If you are using your server or local environment as the root user:**

- Bring any container(s) down with`docker-compose down`

- Rename`docker-compose.root.yml` file to`docker-compose.root.yml`, replacing the previous one

- Re-build the containers by running`docker-compose build --no-cache`

**If you are using your server or local environment as a user that is not root:**

- Bring any container(s) down with`docker-compose down`

- In your terminal, run`export UID=$(id -u) &&export GID=$(id -g)`

- In your terminal, run`export UID=$(id -u)` and then`export GID=$(id -g)`

- Re-build the containers by running`docker-compose build --no-cache`

Then, either bring back up your container network or re-run the command you were trying before, and see if that fixes it.
