Hey there, since I switched from Windows to Ubuntu appwrite doesn't get install properly, at each installation it gives some error, and I had to reinstall it again and again, right now it says Fatal error unable to create lock file: bad file descriptor (9)

Any suggestions please¿

TL;DR
User is experiencing an error message while trying to start appwrite-executor. They have already tried restarting Docker and reinstalling Appwrite, but the error persists. They mention encountering issues with the tmp directory in a previous installation attempt. Another user suggests checking if the /tmp folder exists and is writable. The original user confirms having Ubuntu and mentions that during a previous installation attempt, Docker required them to provide the /tmp path in the File sharing section. Another user asks if the file system is shared with Windows or if there is dual-booting involved. The original user clarifies that they switched from Windows to Ubuntu and have been encountering installation errors

Are you dual booting or is the file system shared with windows or something?

Does the /tmp folder exist and is it writeable by your user?

No, I have only Ubuntu. As for tmp directory, I had encountered such errors at my earlier installation attempt I don't recall the details now, however docker said I need to provide /tmp path in file File sharing section, when I did so appwrite did installed successfully but this appwrite-executor couldn't start and showing fatal error.

Have you tried starting docker and recreating your containers?

Like with up - d command?

That only recreates the container. It doesn't restart docker
