| Summary | 0010126: taler.conf can't be symlink of symlink | ||||
| Description | taler-merchant-httpd can't read taler.conf if it's a symlink pointing to a symlink pointing to the actual file. the rule in Linux is normally resolving a chain of symlinks recursively until the actual file. this is a problem e.g. for kubernetes which maps config files as configmaps into the file system using a 2-hop symlink. https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/configmap/#using-configmaps-as-files-from-a-pod | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | create "tmp2" with the actual config contents, and 2 symlinks: # ls -la total 20 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 23 23:32 . drwxr-xr-x 153 root root 12288 Jun 23 23:07 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun 23 23:29 taler.conf -> tmp1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jun 23 23:29 tmp1 -> tmp2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 401 Jun 23 23:07 tmp2 | ||||

@schanzen: this seems strange, but probably something in libgnunetutil -- care to investigate? |
|
|
thanks for looking into this. I have a working Kubernetes configuration here that I can share once this is fixed. |
|
|
Fix committed to master branch. |

apologies but this is still failing on me with latest gnunet master have you actually tried the two-symlink arrangement from "steps to reproduce" |
