# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Docker gateway log directory permission fix

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

A bug where the parent logs/gateways/ directory is left root-owned causes s6-log to enter a fatal mkdir crash loop for profiles added after first boot. The fixes address this by chowning the parent directory to allow write access.
