I am trying to install Datalab on a GCP Compute Engine and running the following:
username@project_id:/home$ datalab create test--zone us-central1-c
Creating the network datalab-network
Creating the firewall rule datalab-network-allow-ssh
Creating the disk test-pd
Creating the repository datalab-notebooks
Creating the instance test
Created [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/project_id/zones/us-central1-c/instances/test].
Connecting to test.
This will create an SSH tunnel and may prompt you to create an rsa key pair. To manage these keys, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/adding-removing-ssh-keys
Waiting for Datalab to be reachable at http://localhost:8081/
This tool needs to create the directory [/home/username/.ssh] before being able to generate SSH keys.
Do you want to continue (Y/n)? Y
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) Could not create directory [/home/username/.ssh]: Permission denied.
Please verify that you have permissions to write to the parent directory. Connection broken
Anything above you see that is in bold was changed by me for the purpose of this post. Does anybody have any suggestions for how to resolve the error?
