Not sure how to address this generically, but thought it is good to report this.

I get the following errors when running the docker container using src-bash/archive.sh with an output directory /my/path/to/output:

SEVERE: Fail during environment setup
java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /output/logs

The problem can be traced back to access rights on the file mapped using the -volume option on the docker run command.

Error resolved after allowing (SELinux) container_file_t access to the output directory:

semanage fcontext -a -t container_file_t '/my/path/to/webis-wa'
sudo restorecon -v '/my/path/to/webis-wa'

Not sure if this could be part of default script settings, but we should document the access rights issue to the directory that will be mapped to the docker container.
