Multiple user permissions on a directory
by Jason.nix from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6M9D9)
Hello,
I changed the docker storage to another location:
Code:{
"data-root": "/mnt/newlocation/"
}The root user has access to this directory:
Code:# ls -l /mnt/newlocation/
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Apr 22 09:22 containers
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Apr 9 16:50 lost+foundI have installed GitLab Runner and want it to have full access to this directory. I did the following command:
Code:# chown -R gitlab-runner /mnt/newlocation/The permissions were changed as follows:
Code:# ls -l /mnt/newlocation/
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 5 gitlab-runner root 4096 Apr 22 09:22 containers
drwx------ 2 gitlab-runner root 16384 Apr 9 16:50 lost+foundThe GitLab Runner problem is fixed, but what problems might this cause for Docker and others? Can I make both the root user and the gitlab-runner user have full access to this directory?
I found solutions on the internet that were about creating a group, then adding users to that group, and finally giving that group full permission for that directory. Is this OK?
Thank you.
