Read only config.js

hyboi

Hi all,
I did do a bit of a search but didn’t see anything.
I’ve installed MM into a docker with portainer.
I’ve done to enable my first module but the config.js file is read only.
Any thoughts? I did stop MM running in portainer.

@hyboi is it read only, or owned by nother user?

hyboi

I wasn’t in root (facepalm).

Sam,
How would I check if it is read only? Or owned by another user?

sdetweil

@Plainbroke-0 ls -laF filename

shows user and permissions

sdetweil

@hyboi should never be in root

w writable
