This might be a permissions issue, with your image belonging to the root user. Your app must be running as a non-root user?

You should be able to set permissions with `chown` via ssh. See also: [Can't create Sqlite database in mounted volume - #6 by kurt](https://community.fly.io/t/cant-create-sqlite-database-in-mounted-volume/2925/6)

If that’s not the problem, hoping someone else can jump in and help. 🙂
