[Bug]: Posthog web container error "exec: /compose/start: Permission denied"

[tconroy]

Description

When setting up a fresh Posthog resource using the preconfigured services, the web container appears to be caught in an infinite restart loop with a permissions error:

2024-08-30T02:12:26.015995111Z /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: 101: exec: /compose/start: Permission denied

Minimal Reproduction (if possible, example repository)

create project -> prod environment -> +new resource -> Posthog -> start. All containers except web start successfully. Web throws error repeatedly.

Exception or Error

2024-08-30T02:12:26.015995111Z /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: 101: exec: /compose/start: Permission denied

v4.0.0-beta.323

Seem to have found a workaround.

Edit the docker-compose to change:

web:
  image: 'posthog/posthog:latest'
  command: /compose/start

to be

web:
  image: 'posthog/posthog:latest'
  command: sh -c "chmod +x /compose/start && /compose/start"

Thank you this sorted it out for me.

I just tried the template again and I can not find this error in the logs for the web container anymore, so I believe this new command is not necessary anymore and I will close this issue.
