Custom gitea image doesn't find user with Docker Compose-CodePudding

I'm developing a Docker infrastructure with Ansible and Docker Compose and I have a problem with my custom image of Gitea. I want to use a custom image because I need to implement authentication via LDAP. The error that i get inside the container log is:

sudo: unknown user: gitea
sudo: error initializing audit plugin sudoers_audit

This is my configuration:

app.ini (of Gitea)

[DEFAULT]
RUN_USER = git
RUN_MODE = prod

...

[database]
PATH = /data/gitea/gitea.db
DB_TYPE = postgres
HOST = db:5432
NAME = gitea
USER = gitea
PASSWD = gitea
LOG_SQL = false

...

Dockerfile

FROM gitea/gitea:1.16.8
RUN apk add sudo
RUN chmod 777 /home
COPY entrypoint /usr/bin/custom_entrypoint
COPY gitea-cli.sh /usr/bin/gitea-cli.sh
ENTRYPOINT /usr/bin/custom_entrypoint

CodePudding user response：

User gitea simply don't exist in the image.

docker run -it --rm --entrypoint /bin/sh gitea/gitea:1.16.8
/ # grep gitea /etc/shadow
/ # grep gitea /etc/passwd
/ #

The default user is git:

docker run -it --rm --entrypoint /bin/sh gitea/gitea:1.16.8
/ # tail -1 /etc/passwd
git:x:1000:1000:Linux User,,,:/data/git:/bin/bash
/ #

There is two solutions:

add gitea user (not recommended)
use the default user provide by the image (git).

Adding gitea user

Just add adduser in your Dockerfile and it should work:

FROM gitea/gitea:1.16.8
RUN adduser -D -s /bin/bash gitea   # <---- HERE
RUN apk add sudo
COPY entrypoint /usr/bin/custom_entrypoint
COPY gitea-cli.sh /usr/bin/gitea-cli.sh
ENTRYPOINT /usr/bin/custom_entrypoint

You'll also have to change the USER_UID and USER_GID with 1001 (user 1000 is git)

Using default user

Just replace user gitea with git in the gitea service of the dockerfile and in the app.ini .

After that, if you have error like:

error saving to custom config: open /data/gitea/conf/app.ini permission denied

You have to add chown -R 1000:1000 /data/gitea/conf before gitea-cli.sh migrate in entrypoint.

Because you share volume between the host and the container, this will work only if you host user have UID 1000. If not you will have to modify the gitea service in the docker-compose.yml.

Example with an user id of 1002:

docker-compose.yml:

  gitea:
    image: 127.0.0.1:5000/custom_gitea:51
    restart: always
    [...]
    environment:
      USER: git
      USER_UID: 1002
      USER_GID: 1002
    [...]
    user: 1002:1002 # <----- HERE

and before the ENTRYPOINT in the dockerfile:

USER git
ENTRYPOINT ....
