User story #3584
closedDocument how to allow users different from root to commit in the configuration repository
Description
Rudder have a git repository in /var/rudder/configuration-repository and commit in it with the user root. It seems that each time Rudder commit in it, any other user can't commit or push.
Update: if you need to let user commit, a workaround is available in http://www.rudder-project.org/redmine/issues/3584#note-3.

I confirm, after a modification in the webapp, the /var/rudder/configuration-repository/.git/index file gets it's permissions changed
Updated by Nicolas CHARLES over 11 years ago
The permissions of the files is the same as the one of the generated promises : root:root 640

When Rudder makes a commit, Rudder commits as root, It seems that when root user make a commit, the .git/index file user and group are changed to root:root
(It's the same for the config file when using git config or files directly when using git add)
A workaround is to run those commands :
git config core.sharedRepository group # don't use the umask of the git index, but allow users from the group to make commit chgrp myGroup /var/rudder/configuration-repository -R chmod g+rw /var/rudder/configuration-repository -R chmod g+s `find /var/rudder/configuration-repository -type d`
This will put the group of /var/rudder/configuration-repository on all files (new or already existing) of that directory
Is this really a bug of Rudder? Do we really want to not change the group of configuration-repository ? or this is a user specific problem (and should be correctly documented (FAQ, doc ...)
If that's what we want this can be fixed in two places (not the chgrp command):
- In Rudder installation script
- In system techniques ? maybe in a special bundle of common only applied by the root server.

- Category set to Documentation
- Priority changed from N/A to 1 (highest)
- Target version set to 2.4.6
As a first approach, we will consider this as a user specific behavior and will only document if for now.
