Subject: EACCES Permission Denied on /home/container
Posted by lowkygoatedlmao in general · Solved.
Hey, my Node.js servers ( e2b78b3e and www) on node FREE EU RO 08 are crashing on startup with an EACCES: permission denied error whenever npm install tries to create /home/container/.npm and /home/container/node modules. The console logs show the directory has root owned files (sudo chown R 999:995 "/home/container/.npm"). Since I don't have root access in the container, could you please reset the file ownership/permissions on my /home/container volumes on FREE EU RO 08? Thanks! Support ID : 7261fe4d

This looks like root owned files left in or ; you can’t fix ownership with inside the container. 1. In Startup , choose Reset to Default and save. 2. In Files , delete and , then start the server so dependencies install cleanly. 3. If EACCES persists even when those folders are gone—or names itself—don’t reinstall or delete the server. Post the exact EACCES line and node name in the Wispbyte Discord so staff can check the volume. Startup settings · Wispbyte Discord
