+**Automated approach**:
+
+Run the container with the `--user "0"` parameter. Please note, some systems will require the manual approach below.
+
+```sh
+docker run -it --rm --name netalertx --user "0" \
+  -v /local_data_dir/config:/data/config \
+  -v /local_data_dir/db:/data/db \
+  --tmpfs /tmp:uid=20211,gid=20211,mode=1700 \
+  ghcr.io/jokob-sk/netalertx:latest
+```
+
+Stop the container and run it as you would normally.
+
+**Manual approach**:
+
+Use the manual approach if the Automated approach fails. Execute the below commands:
+
+```bash
+sudo chown -R 20211:20211 /local_data_dir
+sudo chmod -R a+rwx /local_data_dir
