It is related to docker usage actually. Did you try to change another directory? Maybe trying /tmp first?

[ShixiangWang]

I take a try

[root@localhost tmp]# docker run -t -p 127.0.0.1:8443:8443 -v "${PWD}:/root/project" codercom/code-server code-server --allow-http --no-auth
ERROR { Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/root/project/code-server'

It is okay to run hello world

[root@localhost tmp]# 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

@code-asher suggested trying to mkdir /tmp/test if you haven't already

[utsavjain1408]

I was also getting the same error for certain directories. However, I manually creates a 'code-server' directory and ran the docker commands again. It now works just fine.
