Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1235

I reinstall archivebox with this custom docker-compose file: https://github.com/forummuenchen/forum-archivebox/blob/main/docker-compose.yml

Surprisingly, the installation fails at the youtube_dl dependency.

Steps to reproduce

mkdir archivebox
cd archivebox
curl -O 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/forummuenchen/forum-archivebox/main/docker-compose.yml'

My user is member of the docker user group.

Screenshots or log output

[+] Installing enabled ArchiveBox dependencies automatically...

    Installing YOUTUBEDL_BINARY automatically using pip...
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Requirement already satisfied: youtube_dl in /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages (2021.12.17)
[X] Failed to install python packages: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/youtube_dl/__main__.py'

ArchiveBox version
