Hello all - I feel like I'm super close to getting my flow productionized and integrated with Dask Gateway. Unfortunately, came across a `PermissionError` (see reply for full stacktrace of error). Tried to look through the thread to see if others have encountered a similar error, but no luck. Any insight on this?

Error from the logs:

```Unexpected error: PermissionError(13, 'Permission denied')

I should also add that when the flow runs, it does create the ephemeral Dask Cluster via Dask Gateway. So that's one thing down. :slightly_smiling_face:

Okay nevermind - got it working by modifying the dockerfile used for the Dask workers. :slightly_smiling_face:
