[Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/home/sbx_user1051'

[swatibansal132]

I am trying to convert a PDF to Markdown using the following code in an AWS Lambda function. However, I am encountering the error:
🚨 [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/home/sbx_user1051'

Here’s my code snippet:
`pipeline_options = PdfPipelineOptions(do_table_structure=True)
doc_converter = DocumentConverter(
format_options={
InputFormat.PDF: PdfFormatOption(pipeline_options=pipeline_options)
}
)

result = doc_converter.convert(Path(fileName))
`

It seems like the function is trying to write to a restricted directory. How can I resolve this issue while keeping the Lambda function functional? Any guidance would be appreciated!

Had the same problem. Apparently related to EasyOCR library. Following worked for me if executed before docling import.

import os

os.environ["EASYOCR_MODULE_PATH"] = "/tmp"
os.environ["MODULE_PATH"] = "/tmp"

Thanks a lot, @exotikh3. This worked for me. It would be nice if this gets added to FAQ section in the docs.

Did you try pre-fetching the models? https://docling-project.github.io/docling/usage/#model-prefetching-and-offline-usage

@dolfim-ibm Yes, I have built a docker image that prefetches the models and outputs them to /var/task/assets/models(aws lambda). In my pipeline options , i have provided the artifacts path. Still i was getting this error. It got after adding the above mention env variables.
