Title: Message Title

Oliver Gondža created an issue   Jenkins / JENKINS-38438 image.inside { ... } does not create full configured user account Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Components: docker-workflow-plugin Created: 2016/Sep/22 8:23 AM Priority: Major Reporter: Oliver Gondža The inside command shares the underlying filesystem with wokspace running docker run with --user option so the started processes inside are likely owned by the same uid/gid as their working directory. This causes problems to system tools that do not expect to run with uid/gid that does not exists in the system and its environment is no fully configured. This causes hard to debug failures as few tool expect that current user can not be looked up in /etc/passwd or the process do not have HOME variable set. Reportedly, it is not even POSIX compliant. It does not take long to find a container/tool combination that will blow up with artificial uid/gid: $ docker run -i fedora dnf update ... # OK $ docker run -u 4242:4242 -i fedora dnf update Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/dnf", line 36, in <module> main.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 185, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 84, in main return _main(base, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf/cli/main.py", line 115, in _main cli.configure(map(ucd, args)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf/cli/cli.py", line 932, in configure self.read_conf_file(opts.conffile, root, releasever, overrides) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf/cli/cli.py", line 1043, in read_conf_file conf.prepend_installroot(opt) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dnf/yum/config.py", line 718, in prepend_installroot path = path.lstrip('/') AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lstrip' The message does not indicate the real cause at all.
