data/weblate-data is not writable by the user inside the container (UID 1000).

This issue looks more like a support question than an issue. We strive to answer these reasonably fast, but purchasing the support subscription is not only more responsible and faster for your business but also makes Weblate stronger. In case your question is already answered, making a donation is the right way to say thank you!

[xerenahmed]

So, how can I fix it?

[nijel]

Something like sudo chown 1000:1000 data/weblate-data.

[xerenahmed]

Is the number 1000 fixed or if there is such an error at another time, how can I learn this number?

[nijel]

It is fixed:

docker/Dockerfile

Lines 186 to 188 in 32ec6e5
