### Bubblewrap Fails to Create Temporary Directory

If the `/tmp` directory is not writable by the user running the node, the Bubblewrap sandbox may fail to start the ParaTimes. In the logs you will see errors about creating temporary directory, like:

```json
{"caller":"sandbox.go:546","err":"failed to create temporary directory: mkdir /tmp/oasis-runtime1152692396: read-only file system","level":"error","module":"runtime/host/sandbox","msg":"failed to start runtime","runtime_id":"000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000a6d1e3ebf60dff6c","ts":"2023-11-09T14:08:50.554629545Z"}
```

The node might report the status that a runtime has not been provisioned yet, like:

```bash
$ oasis-node control status -a unix:/node/data/internal.sock | grep status
"status": "waiting for hosted runtime provision",
```

This can happen, for example, in Kubernetes, when the `readOnlyRootFilesystem` setting in a Pod or container security context is set to `true`.

To resolve the issue, please make sure that the `/tmp` directory is writable by the user running the node. If you are running the node in Kubernetes, you can set the `readOnlyRootFilesystem` setting to `false`, or better yet, mount a dedicated volume into `/tmp`. It can be very small in size, e.g., `1 Mi` is enough.

### Stake Requirement

Double check your node entity satisfies the staking requirements for a ParaTime node. For details see the [Stake Requirements](paratime-node.mdx#stake-requirements) section.
