Run Linux Swarm/Inbound Docker agents under `jenkins-ssh` UID? #44

Closed Kalmalyzer closed 3 years ago

Kalmalyzer commented 3 years ago

Today, the Swarm & Inbound agents run as UID=1000, This happens to be a preexisting account in COS. It would be cleaner if those could run with the UID of the jenkins-ssh account. Is the Jenkins container compatible with arbitrary UIDs/GIDs? Is the buildtools container compatible with arbitrary UIDs/GIDs?

Non-Docker Linux runs using a jenkins account with a nondeterministic UID. Non-Docker Win64 has a jenkins account on the VM, and a Jenkins account within the VM as well.

This concerns specifically the cases where we run Docker Linux on VMs. We probably should move away from the COS + cloud-init strategy, but then we need to understand how to handle UIDs better.

The Docker (non-Kubernetes) agents have been retired. They didn't add much and were generally more troublesome when something went wrong.

Closing this as won't fix.
