Hi @mleandroj18,
I'm guessing there's a file permissions issues at play here. Could be permissions on the files or parent folders, or possibly SELinux if enabled in your environment. Is SELinux enabled in this environment?

Hi ssddanbrown

Yes, it's enabled in the host.

I resolved the issue, it's a permission issue.

To solved it:

Use a named volume: Instead of mounting a volume from the host, you can create a named volume using the docker volume create command. Named volumes are managed by Docker and should not have file permission issues.

Regards.
