Description

I got this error when creating a OIDC Client:

Failed to save client on the UI

and this on docker logs:

ERROR client create: could not write funnel clients db error="open oidc-funnel-clients.json: permission denied"

I am using image: ghcr.io/tailscale/tsidp:v0.0.5

Research direction

The report points to OIDC client creation in the v0.0.5 container; start by reproducing the UI action and inspect the Docker logs for the permission-denied write to oidc-funnel-clients.json. Trace where client creation persists that file and verify the container can write it. Done means creating a client succeeds without the UI error and log failure.
