Permissions issue in Linux

Output from installing docker in linux using the script

docker@8fc17e294469:~/docker_work$ mkdir test
mkdir: cannot create directory 'test': Permission denied

Why is docker_work protected? What is the password?

I'm not sure, but there might have been an issue mounting that directory when you launched the container? Do you see any sort of message related to mounting when you first run the script to launch MESA-Docker?

The password inside the container is mesa, but I doubt that will help anything. Are you at least able to run mkdir test in some other location in the container besides docker_work?
