Error: dynamodb docker unable to open database file

Rafal Wilinski

Answered by Rafal Wilinski

What's Causing This Error

This error is frequently caused due to insufficient permissions.

Solution: Here's How To Resolve It

You can give the required permissions to read/write to resolve the error using the below command.

sudo chmod 777 ./docker/dynamodb

The command changes the permissions on the folder docker/dynamodb so that all users have read, write, and execute permissions on it.

  1. chmod is the command to change file permissions
  2. 777 are the permissions granted (read, write, and execute permissions for all users).
  3. Uses the path ./docker/dynamod as the default path after installing DynamoDB Local using the AWS Guide.
