this is still assigned to user root, hence not accessible.

Stop the container.

You tried to install tasmotas 2.0.3 now as opposed to tasmota 1.0.0 before. Does latter work?

My final guess is, that your persistent data needed a complete re-assignment. Hence I would stop the container and simply **cd back to /var/lib/docker/volumes/nodered\_node-red-data/\_data as root** and then run

`chown -R 1000:1000 *`

ALL files in /var/lib/docker/volumes/nodered\_node-red-data/\_data should then be accessible. I did so in the past, when I run into problems with file permissions as well. **However, do it at your own risk!**
