Error
Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "exec: \"/entrypoint.sh\": permission denied": unknown
Solution
If you're using GitHub Actions, you'll get this when you've forgotten to set the entrypoint.sh as an executable. You can fix this error by running chmod +x </path/to/>entrypoint.sh (replacing </path/to> with the directory path from the process root) and committing it.
When Have I see this?
When I'm creating a GitHub Action and I forget to set the entrypoint.sh as an executable, I'll see this error when the Actions container runs.
