I get this feedback when trying to run /debug exptempplot because it's trying to write to '/app/extra/vintagestory/temperatureplot.csv'. This is because that that file is located in the root directory. Is there a way i could give vintage story root access so that I could run this command, or change the target of the command to be somewhere that doesn't require root access?

Hey there. I don't have the exact same issue, as I got a message about not having permissions due to root being the owner. So all I had to change ownership via

sudo chown -R USERNAME /opt/vintagestory

chown changes the owner of the target, USERNAME selects the new owner, /app/extra/vintagestory is the target directory, and -R changes permissions of all files and directories within the target. Sudo is needed because the owner is root, and higher privileges are needed. 

I do not know how read-only filesystems work in linux. you may be able to get it to work by using my command (replacing the path with /app/extra/vintagestory), and then doing chmod -R u+w /app/extra/vintagestory, possibly with sudo.

Be careful though. Back up your saves and all that.
