Unable to install dependencies when using scraper image in CircleCI

[lanegoolsby]

Description

It appears that after yesterday's change any attempt to install dependencies onto the scraper image fails due to lack of permissions.

In order for us to use the crawler we have to install some our of custom CA certs. Otherwise the crawler will not trust the certificates our internal sites use and cannot therefore connect via HTTPS.

We haven't changed anything on our end for many months and run several crawls a day. We ran several crawls yesterday and they all worked. Suddenly today we're seeing this error in CircleCI.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a Dockerfile

FROM typesense/docsearch-scraper
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git openssh-client
# RUN curl -sSLk https://[our internal site]/install-certs | bash -
# RUN cat /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/* > /usr/local/share/ca_bundle.pem
# ENV REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE "/usr/local/share/ca_bundle.pem"

You'll see this:

I have tried running the command with sudo but it fails as well.

I'm starting to think the whole image is corrupt.

I was able to work around the permission issue by setting the docker image to run as root. That allowed the deps to be installed. But when it came to run the crawl this error is being thrown:

FYI - in the process of working through #28 I found a spot where we were setting the working directory to /app. I changed that to be ~/app and while it didn't solve the problem it did show a error that closer jives with my earlier screen shots.

May I know what version of Docker engine you're using?

[lanegoolsby]

Locally I am using Rancher Desktop. docker -v generates: Docker version 20.10.21-rd, build ac29474. I'm not sure what version of Docker is being used by CircleCI but it should be fairly recent.

I just tried pulling latest and got a slightly different error. Figured I'd share in case its helpful.
