Renku doesn’t work if the home directory is mounted with NFS. It fails with a message:

Unable to acquire lock.
Hint: Please wait for another renku process to finish and then try again.

May be caused by a bug in a library that renku uses: wolph/portalocker#92

I found a workaround. Setting the home directory to be some local directory for the renku command works.

$ HOME=/scratch/mrawlik renku

Should you be on a system that has only NFS mounted drives you can fall back to the /dev/shm mount. It should be there on most linux distros and is writeable by all users.

HOME=/dev/shm/ renku status
