`chmod` and exfat drives #130

Closed ManuelSchneid3r closed 1 year ago

ManuelSchneid3r commented 1 year ago

Changing permissions on exfat drives is not allowed. The entrypoint script fails.

bitcoin | chown: changing ownership of '/home/bitcoin/.bitcoin': Operation not permitted

Why exactly are those two lines needed?

Is there any workarounds for this so far? I'm having the same issue.

ruimarinho commented 1 year ago

Those lines are there to ensure good security practices: only the bitcoin user can read, write and execute files contained in it.

However, the entrypoint is completely optional. It's there as a helper. You have two workarounds:

  1. Switching filesystems. Exfat does not support storing the bits required to hold permission data. I suppose this is not practical for you.

  2. Replacing the entrypoint but a direct call to bitcoind. An example command ignoring the bundled entrypoint:

    docker run --rm -it --entrypoint bitcoind ruimarinho/bitcoin-core:24 -version

Hope this helps!
