When trying to create a docker image from the Dockerfile described here I receive this error. What can I do? I am a new learner so please bear with me.

Error: EACCES: permission denied, rmdir ‘/opt/app/.cache/admin’

docker build -t strapi-test:01 .

In case anyone is interested: I had to remove all USER actions from the Dockerfile to make it work.

RUN chown -R node:node /opt/app
USER node

It had to run with root user.
