Hi,

Apologies in advance for my newbieness!

Trying to install Pangolin, and diligently following the instructions. Everything seems to run OK until the post installation steps when I got the following error

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

I can see that the three Docker containers have been created successfully. If I try to start the Pandolin container manually, I get the same error. The installer was run using sudo and /opt/Pangolin is owned by root and has user permissions. The config subfolder already exists

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

That looks like it means that Docker is trying to access or create /opt/Pangolin/config on your host system, but the filesystem is mounted as read-only, so Docker can’t create or write to that directory. You might want to look into creating a directory somewhere else like var or your home directory.
