| Summary | 0011533: Free taler-merchant-dbconfig from sudo | ||||
| Description | Given xBSD ports and even minimalistic Debian for podman (cf. output) which is without sudo, use su:root@1b0bd36dc346:~# taler-merchant-dbconfig taler-merchant-dbinit v1.6.5 Setting up database user taler-merchant-httpd. Database user 'taler-merchant-httpd' already existed. Continuing anyway. /usr/bin/taler-merchant-dbconfig: line 91: sudo: command not found Failed to grant permissions to taler-merchant-httpd root@1b0bd36dc346:~# sudo bash: sudo: command not found root@1b0bd36dc346:~# | ||||

Sidetrack (stopping right away): runuser works perfectly fine on a minimalistic Debian in podman (like taler.hacktivism.ch) and is also more portable on Linux systems, but only there; would go like this (just tried out):root@1b0bd36dc346:~# cat /usr/bin/taler-merchant-dbconfig | grep runuser if ! runuser -u postgres -- createuser "$DBUSER" 2>/dev/null; then runuser -u postgres -- psql -v dbuser="$DBUSER" <<'EOF' || ret=$? if runuser -u postgres -- psql "$DBNAME" </dev/null 2>/dev/null; then if ! runuser -u postgres -- dropdb "$DBNAME"; then if ! runuser -u postgres -- createdb -O "$DBUSER" "$DBNAME"; then if ! runuser -u "$DBUSER" -- "$DBINIT" -c "$CFGFILE"; then root@1b0bd36dc346:~# |
