The stream or file var www storage logs laravel log could not be opened failed to open stream Permission denied

0 votes

I have two docker containers: Nginx and App.
The app container extends PHP-fpm and also has my Laravel Code.

In my docker-compose.yml I'm doing:

version: '2'
services:
    nginx:
        build:
            context: ./nginx
            dockerfile: ./Dockerfile
        ports:
            - "80:80"
        links:
            - app
    app:
        build:
            context: ./app
            dockerfile: ./Dockerfile

In my Nginx Dockerfile i'm doing:

FROM nginx:latest
WORKDIR /var/www
ADD ./nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
ADD . /var/www
EXPOSE 80

In my App Dockerfile I'm doing:

FROM php:7-fpm
WORKDIR /var/www
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libmcrypt-dev mysql-client && docker-php-ext-install mcrypt pdo_mysql
ADD . /var/www

After successfully running docker-compose up, I have the following error when I try localhost

The stream or file "/var/www/storage/logs/laravel.log" could not be opened: failed to open stream: Permission denied

From my understanding, the storage folder needs to writable by the webserver.
What should I be doing to resolve this?

Hello @kartik,

Make your Dockerfile something as below -

FROM php:7-fpm
WORKDIR /var/www
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libmcrypt-dev mysql-client && docker-php-ext-install mcrypt pdo_mysql
ADD . /var/www
RUN chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www

This makes directory /var/www owned by www-data which is the default user for php-fpm.

Since it is compiled with user www-data.

Hope it helps!!

Thank You!!
