How do we get rid of error 13 permission denied error during openstack image create?

Question

microstack.openstack image create --file filename.qcow2 --disk-format qcow2 "imagename"

This gives error as

[Error 13] Permission denied file path

Where are your images stored (check the glance config file) and who owns that directory? — eblock, Jul 28 '22 at 13:20

I had the same error. The image file was in the downloads folder. The work around for me was to put the image in the folder microstack had access to. I copied the file image to /var/snap/microstack/common/images/. The cirros file that comes with microstack is also in that folder.

After copying the file, the image create was successful.

And remember to give the full path as microstack.openstack image create --file /var/snap/microstack/common/images/name_of_image name – Indika K Dec 16 '22 at 13:47
