03/05/2026, 2:50 PMuv run "agent.py" download-files. The error says the build cannot canonicalize /app/.venv/bin/python3 because of "Permission denied", which means the build user doesn’t have access to the virtualenv/python at that path.
What you can try (short checklist):
1. Ensure the .venv and cache directories are owned and writable by the user that runs uv run in the image
◦ Before switching to a non-root user, set ownership:
RUN chown -R appuser:appuser /app/.venv
• Or create .venv and files as the same non-root user so /app/.venv/bin/python3 is accessible.
1. Run the download step while still root (do downloads before USER switch)
◦ Example:
RUN uv run "agent.py" download-files
RUN chown -R appuser:appuser /app/.venv /app/.cache
USER appuser
• This avoids permission issues when downloading model files or creating venv contents.
1. If Hugging Face or other tooling uses a cache under root (e.g., /root/.cache/huggingface), override and make it writable:
◦ Set a cache path inside /app and give ownership:
ENV HF_HUB_CACHE=/app/.cache/huggingface
RUN mkdir -p $HF_HUB_CACHE && chown -R appuser:appuser $HF_HUB_CACHE
1. Confirm which user is executing the uv run command in your Dockerfile
◦ If you set USER appuser earlier, make sure permission fixes happen before that line, or run the command as root then drop privileges.
Quick diagnostic questions to help me narrow this down:
• Do you switch to a non-root user (e.g., USER appuser) in your Dockerfile before the uv run step? If so, at which line?
• Is .venv created in an earlier build stage as root or by a different user?
• Do you have any explicit chown or chmod lines already in the Dockerfile for /app?
If you share the relevant portion of your Dockerfile (the part that creates .venv, any USER lines, and where uv run is executed), I’ll give the exact patch you can add to fix permissions.

0.257 Caused by: No such file or directory (os error 2)
------
unable to create agent: build failed for bom.ocir.io/axyci3pr8vxm/production-cloud-agents:p-396gj4q8mak-ca-osr2tckewavm-v20260305150101: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c uv run src/agent.py download-files" did not complete successfully: exit code: 2tall-airline-16756
03/05/2026, 3:02 PMuv run src/agent.py download-files. I’ll help you narrow this down and fix it.
Why this is happening
• The error means the file src/agent.py is not present at that path inside the container at the time the uv run command executes. This is usually caused by one of:
◦ The file was not copied into the image (missing or incorrect COPY/ADD).
◦ The build’s working directory is different from where the file was placed.
◦ A prior step changed or removed the file.
◦ The path is incorrect (e.g., the file is at agent.py or ./agent/agent.py instead of src/agent.py).
What to check right now (quick checklist)
1. Verify the Dockerfile copies the file into the image:
◦ Ensure there is a COPY or ADD that places src/agent.py (or the entire src/ directory) into /app (or the image working directory) before the uv run step.
1. Confirm the working directory in the Dockerfile:
◦ If you use WORKDIR /app, uv run src/agent.py will look for /app/src/agent.py. Make sure those match.
1. Confirm file path and name locally:
◦ Ensure the file is named exactly agent.py and located under src/ relative to your build context (the folder you pass to docker build).
1. Check build context:
◦ Files must be inside the build context. If your src/ is outside the build context, Docker won’t see it.
1. Inspect Dockerfile stages:
◦ If you use multi-stage builds, verify the src/agent.py is present in the stage where you run uv run. A COPY in a previous stage does not automatically transfer to later stages unless you copy between stages.
How to confirm inside the build quickly
• Add a temporary debug step right before the failing command to list files and show current working dir:
RUN pwd && ls -la && ls -la src || true
RUN uv run src/agent.py download-files
This will print where the build is looking and the directory contents so you can confirm whether src/agent.py exists.
Suggested fixes (pick the one that fits your Dockerfile)
• If you don’t currently copy src/ into the image:
COPY src /app/src
WORKDIR /app
• If the file lives at the repo root (not in src/) change the command:
RUN uv run agent.py download-files
• If using multi-stage builds, ensure you copy from the build stage that has the file into the final stage:
FROM builder AS build
COPY . /src
# build steps...
FROM runtime
COPY --from=build /src/src /app/src
WORKDIR /app
RUN uv run src/agent.py download-files
Two quick questions to help me give an exact patch:
• Can you paste the Dockerfile lines that set WORKDIR and any COPY/ADD commands (or the whole Dockerfile if short)?
• Where is agent.py located in your repo relative to the build context root? (e.g., ./src/agent.py or ./agent.py)
Share those and I’ll provide the exact change you should make to your Dockerfile.bored-nest-74680

03/05/2026, 3:13 PMlk agent logs --id <your-agent-id>
or use the dashboard Logs tab for that agent. Look for stack traces, missing env var errors, or auth failures.
1. Inspect the dashboard Logs and Insights
• In the LiveKit Cloud dashboard: Project → Agents → select the agent → Logs and Agent insights.
• Check for errors shown at startup or during the first few seconds (common causes: missing secrets, unhandled exceptions in startup code).
1. Confirm required environment variables / secrets
• Ensure any AI provider keys (OpenAI, Deepgram, etc.) and runtime secrets were provided when creating the agent.
• If you changed secrets, restart the agent after updating them:
lk agent update-secrets --secrets KEY=VALUE
lk agent restart --id <your-agent-id>
1. Check for unhandled exceptions in entrypoint
• If entrypoint() raises, the process exits and the dashboard will mark the agent as errored. Add try/except around startup and log failures:
@entrypoint
async def entrypoint(ctx):
try:
# setup
except Exception as e:
logger.error("Entrypoint failed", exc_info=True)
raise
1. Check runtime file paths and permissions
• Files and caches required at runtime must exist and be readable by the runtime user (e.g., model cache directories, .venv if referenced at runtime). If you changed ownership during the build, confirm the runtime user can access them.
1. Restart the agent after fixes
• After applying fixes or updating secrets, restart:
lk agent restart --id <your-agent-id>
Diagnostic info I need from you
• The output of lk agent logs --id <your-agent-id> (or paste the last 20–50 lines from the dashboard Logs tab).
• Any error messages shown on the agent’s dashboard page (copy/paste exact text).
• Whether you provided external provider keys as secrets during creation and if you recently changed them.
• The agent ID (so I can reference exact commands in follow-ups).
If you paste the relevant log lines or dashboard error text here, I’ll read them and give an exact, step-by-step fix.
