First timer error - deploying a hello-world flask app

Habitat Help

I am getting my hands dirty with habitat for the first time with a “hello world” flask app. After exporting / building the docker image, I get the following error when I try to spin up a container using the image.

Update - I’ve ensured that “/hab” dir is owned (recursively) by user “Vagrant” thats trying to run the docker image, and still no luck.

Hello Nishant!

I'm not entirely sure exactly what the problem with your image is, but it looks like it's based on a pretty old sample repo.

I built a new sample repo here that should get you up and running. Let me know if you have any other questions!
