@Xwoder
please execute next commands and provide your output:
ls -lah ~ | grep .mytb
ls -lah ~/.mytb-edge-logs/
ls -lah ~/.mytb-edge-data/

You should see something similar:

Any update on this issue? I'm facing the same error

[volodymyr-babak]

Hello @gustavovelascoh

Could you please provide your OS and docker versions?

[gustavovelascoh]

Hi @volodymyr-babak, here is the info

Ubuntu running in a virtual machine:

Something I noticed is that "docker" group ID is 999, but from the installation guide 799 is used. It might not be relevant, though.

@Xwoder @gustavovelascoh
I updated my laptop ubuntu from 20.04 to 22.04 and I am still not able to reproduce this issue.
The docker version is 20.10.18, so the same as yours.
I suspect that problem is somewhere in the file system permissions.
I'm going to try to do the same by installing VirtualBox and setup there Ubuntu 22.04.

@Xwoder do you use a virtual machine for Ubuntu 22.04? If yes, please provide next additional information:

• What is your host operations system?
• what virtual machine software are you using - VirtualBox or some other? Please provide a version of the software as well.
• Please provide a screenshot of your virtual machine configuration for the Ubuntu 22.04 image.

@gustavovelascoh please provide the next additional information:

• What is your host operations system?
• what virtual machine software are you using - VirtualBox or some other? Please provide a version of the software as well.
• Please provide a screenshot of your virtual machine configuration for the Ubuntu 22.04 image.

Thanks

@volodymyr-babak,

Update

I have found that our issue is different from the issue specified on this thread. The TB Edge instance was unable to access the PostgreSQL container. Everything was working fine few days ago until it started giving the following errors:

In my first testing, I was using the static IP address by configuring in the docker compose file that was working fine; however, I am not sure why it's no longer working. I tried to remove the static IP configuration but didn't work.

Now, after creating the containers from scratch and removing the IP configuration, everything seems to work fine. Though I am still unable to use the static IP configuration and receiving the same error in the second screenshot. Please find below the configuration I used while testing with static network configuration. Right now, I have just excluded the configuration for IP and everything is working fine.
