@denniebouman. Please add any relevant info you have and can share.

We found out this error occurs when running with a different (non-root) user than renderer (uid 1001). We have a temporary workaround by applying the following in our kubernetes manifest:

securityContext:
  runAsUser: 1001

However, it would be nice to be able to run using a user with arbitrary uid. (i.e. in a rootles openshift environment)

We've made quite a few changes to the renderer since this bug report. Please re-open this issue if it has not been solved.
