Strapi import fails, no write permissions on public folder

The underlying issue is: strapi import fails: error: [FATAL] EBUSY: resource busy or locked · Issue #15613 · strapi/strapi · GitHub

Most likely you are using docker or docker-compose or something else is locking uploads folder from moving to backup.

In my case, I am using docker compose and I just changed public/uploads mount to just the whole public dir. That worked.
