Docker ERROR: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): unexpected EOF

Question

I needed space and executed: docker rmi $(docker images -f \"dangling=true\" -q)

Since then I can\'t with docker-compose: docker-compose build

Answer 1

For me it was a permission error. I walked against the same exact issue as PR, ERROR: Error processing tar file(exit status 1): unexpected EOF My solution is dirty but worked for me

chown -R 777 /foo/bar/project

You almost always want to avoid to set permissions on 777, 655 is more reasonable.

0 = ---
1 = --x
2 = -w-
3 = -wx
4 = r-
5 = r-x
6 = rw-
7 = rwx
