If not, I'd like to find a workaround so I can run as any user. Seems like logging shouldn't be a reason to force us into running as root.
Yes.The user must be root because many of the CLI commands write to root protected (owned) files and directories such as /etc/pulp/consumer and /etc/yum.repos.d/pulp.repo.
- - This is causing a problem with the repo sync schedule implementation, which uses pulp tools to do the sync. It's crashing because the apache user can't write to the log file.
Repo sync is a server side thing. Wonder why this functionality is in pulptools. Can this be moved?
Assuming we can fix the first point, the second becomes a non-issue. I'm not sure of the cleanest solution (in nimbus tools, I write the log to /tmp if the user doesn't have access to /var/log), but someone else might have a more standard approach.
Interesting solution. I'm not opposed but seems odd that admins would have to look in two places for the log when trying to debug.
