error while creating mount source path: operation not permitted

[Antoine101]

Hi,

I followed the installation instructions for a Mac user with Ollama served locally. Instructions below:

git clone https://github.com/n8n-io/self-hosted-ai-starter-kit.git
cd self-hosted-ai-starter-kit
cp .env.example .env # you should update secrets and passwords inside
docker compose up

I get the following error after running "docker compose up":

Gracefully stopping... (press Ctrl+C again to force)
Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/host_mnt/Users/antoinepurier/Documents/self-hosted-ai-starter-kit/n8n/demo-data': mkdir /host_mnt/Users/antoinepurier/Documents: operation not permitted

The docker-compose.yml file is at the same location is the n8n folder.

I tested several things like ensuring access permissions on the n8n folder, adding the folder path to the paths in docker desktop file sharing settings, changing the relative path to the full path in the n8n volumes section of the docker-compose.yml file. None of them worked.
I am not very fluent in docker.

Many thanks in advance.

PS: I have not made any modifications to the docker-compose.yml file.

I fixed my issue by switching the file sharing implementation for my containers (In Docker Desktop -> Settings -> General -> Virtual Machine Options -> "Choose file sharing implementation for your containers") from "VirtioFS" to "gRPC FUSE".

I don't know why it fixes it but it does.
