documentation/possibility how to handle sudo calls? #86

Closed deknos closed 3 years ago

deknos commented 3 years ago

Hello, i start after a while stumbling often enough with sudo and tools i installed with binenv. Can you add a documentation which best practice you would recommend, so tools are usable with sudo? because otherweise minikube for example is not really usable

Hello,

Can you describe what issues you're facing ? Minikube is happy here.

$ which minikube
/home/dir/.binenv/minikube
$ minikube start

Here:

user01@testvm:~$ minikube start --driver=none
😄  minikube v1.17.1 auf Ubuntu 20.04 (vbox/amd64)
✨  Using the none driver based on user configuration

🤷  Exiting due to PROVIDER_NONE_NOT_FOUND: The 'none' provider was not found: running the 'none' driver as a regular user requires sudo permissions

user01@testvm:~$ sudo minikube start --driver=none
[sudo] Passwort für benutzer01: 
sudo: minikube: Befehl nicht gefunden
user01@testvm:~$

This might work:

sudo env "PATH=$PATH" "HOME=$HOME" minikube start --driver=none

I do not see any easier safe global solution to this.

A global binenv mode where binaries & configs would be shared for the entire system would solve this, but is not really in the plans right now.

EDIT: there is also the option of installing binenv for the root user.

This looks good enough, perhaps you should mention it in the documentation, at least that works for me :)

sadly you only can use it then as root, not as non-root when you install it with root in /usr/local/bin :D
