Hello All,

I was trying to install forwarder on my test machine which has been newly configured and it is showing the below error:

Error: docker: Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/opt/chronicle/config': mkdir /opt/chronicle: read-only file system.

Can anyone please let me know how to rectify this error?

Thanks,

I had this same error when I first set it up about a year ago. I believe the issue is that the docker service account doesn't have permissions for that directory. The SIEM documentation should be updated because I've encountered this issue 2 or 3 times when setting up a Linux forwarder.

will chmod work to change the permissions?

Did you install docker using snap?
