@nil What OS are you running on? Symlinks may not be supported by the host filesystem

I am running on Ubuntu 20.04 server. Also i run docker in rootless mode do you think that can be a problem?

@nil OK, Ubuntu should be fine, I saw similar issues with Windows, but that shouldn't be an issue here. Rootless mode may be an issue, can you see if it works with root?

sure i will try it out and get back to you. with the issue i will file once i can add bit more useful info (apart from error message 🙂)

Sounds good, thanks!

https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues/2373 also i can confirm that it only happens in rootless mode, without rootless it works (I only tested until, init part so far) without any issue.

@nil Cool, I'll check out the issue, thanks!

Also let me know if i need to any more info there
