Test run fails out of the box with docker (touch: cannot touch '.command.trace': Permission denied)

[GDelevoye]

Description of the bug

I installed the latest version of docker on Ubuntu LTS 22.04 and it fails to run the test pipeline.

Note 1 / Nextflow was installed within a mamba-created environment here. But the same happens when I install nextflow as a root user

Note 2 / The test pipeline runs correctly with conda

Command used and terminal output

(nf) delevoye@delevoye-HP-ZBook-Fury-16-G10-Mobile-Workstation-PC:~$ docker run hello-world

Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:
 1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
 2. The Docker daemon pulled the "hello-world" image from the Docker Hub.
    (amd64)
 3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the
    executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
 4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it
    to your terminal.

To try something more ambitious, you can run an Ubuntu container with:
 $ docker run -it ubuntu bash

It might help to install Nextflow using your normal user outside of a conda environment.

$ curl -s https://get.nextflow.io | bash 

and then run the Nextflow executable that gets created:

$ ./nextflow run pgscatalog/pgsc_calc -profile test,docker

If this works for you, then you could move the executable to your home bin directory.
