OpenBBUserData folder exists in the root of my home but is empty.

If you give Docker permission to this folder/path, does the issue persist?

I also faced a similar issue. The way I got through it was to run the container as a root user (I'm on WSL). You can try a few things, or Google something similar, depending on your needs:

docker --exec it -user root /bin/bash docker --exec it -user root <container name or ID> docker-compose exec --user root bash docker exec -u root bash

You can also refer to this video, at 3:18-3:22 you can see the command that solves the Permission Error

Just wanted to share a workaround I found. If you create the folder OpenBBUserData and .openbb_terminal with your ubuntu user in your home, then docker compose -f docker-compose.yaml -f docker-compose.x11.yaml run openbb will work with no errors
