I am under the impression that /tmp is not writable in Streamlit Cloud (/var/tmp is). In principle applications should respect TMPDIR, but in practice some don’t: they fail obscurely, and debugging becomes very frustrating and time-consuming. (One such app is Libreoffice, but others have been mentioned in the forum).
Would it be possible to make /tmp writable (if necessary, via a bind mount or a tmpfs)?
Yes, I’ve communicated this to our engineering team, but I do not know yet when any changes to /tmp permissions will get incorporated into Streamlit Cloud.
Hey @tonigi! Our engineers worked on a fix for this, which should be released over the next few days. Let me know if you’re still having trouble next week or so!
