New renovate-ce image uid/guid settings

[meenzen]

According to the announcement email this new version has 100% backwards compatibility. This does not appear to be the case, I have found these issues:

Broken Docker Volumes

The new image does not use the same uid and gid as before, thus breaking the volume mounts

Thanks, please keep separate topics in separate issues so that we can deal with them one by one and not miss any.

Starting with the UID/GID topic, I see:

❯ docker run --rm -it whitesource/renovate:5.0.0 /bin/bash
ubuntu@d5b138a78ef3:/usr/src/app$ id
uid=1000(ubuntu) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1000(ubuntu)

and

❯ docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/mend/renovate-ce:6.0.0 /bin/bash
ubuntu@20221c835f88:/usr/src/app$ id
uid=1000(ubuntu) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),999(docker),1000(ubuntu)

I see the addition of the docker group but wouldn't expect that to be breaking. What do you see/find?

I may have jumped to the conclusion too early, sorry for the confusion.

I have configured a volume for /db/, exactly the same way as the volume for /tmp/ and expected this to just work. Instead the app crashes:

FATAL: failure initializing Renovate community edition - exiting...
       "err": {
         "errno": 14,
         "code": "SQLITE_CANTOPEN",
         "message": "SQLITE_CANTOPEN: unable to open database file",
         "stack": "Error: SQLITE_CANTOPEN: unable to open database file"
       }

The fix was to set the user explicitly, e.g. user: "0:0" so I just assumed that the user configuration of the image had changed.

Does SQLite require different file permissions than the /tmp/ cache for some reason?

[rarkins]

I'm not really sure why that would be, but one of my colleagues can likely take a look next week. I think that user 0 means root so that's probably undesirable?

Converted to discussion

Facing the same issue here, would like to get this fixed before upgrading to renovate CE

[rarkins]

The original description of this issue was incorrect. uid/gid is the same.

What is "this"? e.g. mounting of DB? If so, please start a new discussion because this one is wrong/confusing

Facing the same issue as @meenzen

FATAL: failure initializing Renovate community edition - exiting...
       "err": {
         "errno": 14,
         "code": "SQLITE_CANTOPEN",
         "message": "SQLITE_CANTOPEN: unable to open database file",
         "stack": "Error: SQLITE_CANTOPEN: unable to open database file"
       }

Setting the user explicitly to user: "0:0" as @meenzen also said, fixes the issue. Should I open a new issue or do you want to edit the title / description of the current one?

Please start a new discussion, including all the relevant info. Do not link to this confused discussion. I will mark this particular one as resolved.
