## 1. Browser & Version

- [PWA] / crhome 128.0.6613.120 (Official Build) (x86\_64)
- macOS Big Sur (11.7.10)

### 2. Workspace ID

- docker-template-app-9126589

## 3. Template Used

- Misc / Blank Workspace
- enabling `docker`
- package `docker-compose` added

## 4. Steps to Reproduce

### 4.1. Enabling docker and docker-compose from `Blank template`

```nix
{ pkgs, ... }: {
  channel = "stable-23.11";
  packages = [
    pkgs.docker-compose
  ];
  env = {};
  services.docker.enable = true;
  idx = {
    extensions = [
      # "vscodevim.vim"
    ];
    previews = {
      enable = true;
      previews = {};
    };
    workspace = {
      onCreate = {
        default.openFiles = [".idx/dev.nix" "README.md"];
      };
      onStart = {
      };
    };
  };
}

```

### 4.2. Executing `docker-compose up -d`

directory structure

```auto
.
├── docker-compose.yml
└── rproxy
    └── Dockerfile

```

creating network `iptime`

```bash
$ docker network create iptime

```

docker-compose.yml

```yml
name: app

volumes:
  rproxy-config: {}
networks:
  iptime:
    external: true
services:
  rproxy:
    container_name: rproxy
    build: 
      context: ./rproxy
    ports:
      - "3000:80"
    volumes:
      - rproxy-config:/etc/nginx
    networks:
      - iptime

```

Dockerfile

```docker
FROM nginx:latest
EXPOSE 80
# Start nginx
CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

```

creating containers

```bash
docker-template-app-9126589:~/docker-template-app$ docker-compose up -d
[+] Building 0.0s (0/0) docker:default
[+] Running 1/1
 ✔ Container rproxy Started 0.0s 
docker-template-app-9126589:~/docker-template-app$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
7a1ddade75ff app-rproxy "/docker-entrypoint.…" 38 seconds ago Up 37 seconds 0.0.0.0:3000->80/tcp, :::3000->80/tcp rproxy

```

### 4.3. close workspace

- On menu, `File` \> `Close Window`

### 4.4. Reopen the workspace from `Home`

- open the workspace on tab `Your workspace`

### 4.5. Turning on Gemini

- open `chat with Gemini`, and ask anything

```auto
Error: EACCES: permission denied, scandir '/home/user/.local/share/docker/overlay2/24acf9d1e58b82d9d5608313acaa8cb2ec1b379d3d961b7c3701cdecbf75347b/work/work'

```

`Gemini` might see overlay storage(I guess..)

Here are list of `overlay2`(which are related to nginx)

```bash
docker-template-app-9126589:~/.local/share/docker/overlay2$ ls -al

```

To fix the problem,

- the containers should be closed, removed (`docker-compose down`)
- The generated images should be deleted(`docker image remove app-rproxy`), which emptifies `~/.local/share/docker/overlay2` direcotry.
