Fix(Installation): Adjust the data directory's permissions to 777 to allow access for users in the container.

[orange-guo]

How to reproduce this behavior

After executing the 'prepare-directories.sh' script as per the documentation to set up the 'data' directory and launching the containers using 'docker compose up,' an error was encountered in the Gloo container:

{"level":"warn","ts":"2023-11-22T02:42:11.034Z","logger":"gloo.v1.event_loop.gloo.reporter","caller":"reporter/reporter.go:305","msg":"failed to write status state:Accepted reported_by:\"gloo\" for resource petstore: error writing to apply status: writing file: open /data/config/upstreams/gloo-system/petstore.yaml: permission denied","version":"1.14.0-beta1"}

It seems that the issue revolves around the permissions required for the 'data' directory. The user inside the container needs read and write permissions for 'other' (xx7) to access files within 'data'.

Solution

• Adjust the data directory's permissions to 777 to allow access for users in the container

Thanks for the contribution! One question about a way we might be able to limit the permissions further.

Whatever we introduce in this script, we'll likely need to add to https://github.com/solo-io/gloo/blob/main/install/docker-compose-consul/prepare-directories.sh as well.
