On Ubuntu 22.04 spinning up the latest Docker image (1.7.0) results in the following error:

Using the previous version (1.6.0) on Ubuntu or the latest (1.7.0) on Windows works as expected.

I have had the same problem yesterday on my linux machine. I can confirm that the previous version (1.6.0) on Ubuntu works fine.

One option is to run the container as your user. In linux your user typically has UID 1000:

docker run -it -u 1000 -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd)/mydata:/label-studio/data heartexlabs/label-studio:latest

I have exact same issue on ubuntu 22.04. I am using docker-compose.yml. How do I go back to 1,6,0?

@basantashrestha Instead of using the :latest tag you can use heartexlabs/label-studio:1.6.0 for example or any other tag on docker hub

One workaround is to make your mount data to be writable:
chmod -R 777 mydata/

[francescocarpanese]

If you want to run as your userid and group id you can get them automatically from your env variable with ${USER}):$(id -u ${USER}),

For example.
docker run -it -u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -u ${USER}) -p 8080:8080 -v $(pwd)/mydata:/label-studio/data heartexlabs/label-studio:latest

Starting with release 1.7.0, the application will run using a non-root docker user with ID 1001.

If you encounter any permission issues when running the application in a docker container, you can fix them by changing the ownership of the relevant files and directories to 1001.

docker run -it --user root -v `pwd`/mydata:/label-studio/data heartexlabs/label-studio:1.7.0 chown -R 1001:root /label-studio/data/

This info was added into Changelog under section Breaking Changes.

how does this solve the issue. I download the docker compose file from this repo and cannot run it...

Please provide docker logs or open a new issue.
