[Bug]: Error Creating Controller - Docker Mounts Denied in MacOS with Latest Image

[paulmaunders]

Is there an existing issue for the same bug?

• I have checked the troubleshooting document at https://opendevin.github.io/OpenDevin/modules/usage/troubleshooting
• I have checked the existing issues.

Describe the bug

When running the latest Docker image of OpenDevin on MacOS, the application fails to start correctly with an error message "Error creating controller". The issue appears to be related to Docker mount permissions, specifically for the path /app/opendevin/.cache.

Internal Server Error ("Mounts denied: The path /app/opendevin/.cache is not shared from the host and is not known to Docker. You can configure shared paths from Docker -> Preferences... -> Resources -> File Sharing. See https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac for more info.")

The 0.5 image works fine.

Current Version

ghcr.io/opendevin/opendevin:latest

Installation and Configuration

docker run \
    -it \
    --pull=always \
    -e SANDBOX_USER_ID=$(id -u) \
    -e WORKSPACE_MOUNT_PATH=$WORKSPACE_BASE \
    -v $WORKSPACE_BASE:/opt/workspace_base \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
    ghcr.io/opendevin/opendevin:latest

Model and Agent

• Model: gpt-4o
• Agent: CodeActAgent

Reproduction Steps

1. Set up the necessary environment variables and workspace directory.
2. Run the following Docker command with the latest image (see above command).

The latest image version works well for me and correctly runs the sandbox container. I found that the path my sandbox container mounts is /home/opendevin/.cache, as set in line 395 of ssh_box.py, which is allowed for mounting. However, your path /app/opendevin/.cache is not permitted for mounting.
