> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: agent, containerization
>Reporter: Cody Maloney
>Priority: Major
> Labels: containerizer
>
> Quite a few programs assume {{$HOME}} points to a user-editable data file
> directory.
> One example is PYTHON, which tries to look up $HOME to find user-installed
> pacakges, and if that fails it tries to look up the user in the passwd
> database which often goes badly (The container is running under the `nobody`
> user):
> {code}
> if i == 1:
> if 'HOME' not in os.environ:
> import pwd
> userhome = pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid()).pw_dir
> else:
> userhome = os.environ['HOME']
> {code}
> Just setting HOME by default to WORK_DIR would enable more software to work
> correctly out of the box. Software which needs to specialize / change it (or
> schedulers with specific preferences), should still be able to set it
> arbitrarily and anything a scheduler explicitly sets should overwrite the
> default value of $WORK_DIR
