Every filesystem operation against user compose folders (save, create,
deploy, update, rollback, template install, fleet snapshot restore)
previously failed with EACCES whenever a stack container had chowned
its own bind mount to another UID, which is extremely common with
linuxserver/* images and anything that runs as root by default.
Running Sencho as root eliminates the entire class of permission bugs
at the source and matches the default posture of Portainer, Dockge,
Komodo, and Yacht. Mounting /var/run/docker.sock is already equivalent
to root-on-host, so the previous non-root hardening provided essentially
no additional isolation while breaking real features.
Changes:
- docker-entrypoint.sh: default path stays root, no GID dance, no
privilege drop. Opt-out via SENCHO_USER=sencho restores the legacy
behavior bit-for-bit (chown data dir, match Docker socket GID,
su-exec to the user). Fails fast if SENCHO_USER names a nonexistent
account. Kubernetes / OpenShift forced-non-root compat preserved via
the existing id -u = 0 guard.
- FileSystemService: delete forceDeleteViaDocker (the ~40-line helper
that shelled out to an alpine container to work around EACCES during
deleteStack) and simplify deleteStack to a single fsPromises.rm call.
Tests updated accordingly.
- Dockerfile: keep the sencho user+group pre-created so the opt-out
path works out of the box; comments updated to document the new
default.
- Docs: new "Container user" section in configuration.mdx documenting
the root default and the SENCHO_USER opt-out; troubleshooting and
self-hosting updated to match.
The previous command `rm -rf /cleanup` tried to remove the bind mount
point itself, which the kernel rejects with EBUSY. Changed to
`find /cleanup -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -exec rm -rf {} +` which
removes all contents without touching the mount point. The existing
fsPromises.rmdir() call then cleans up the empty host directory.
* fix(stacks): resolve permission denied error when deleting stacks with root-owned files
When Docker Compose creates files as root inside a stack directory, the
non-root Sencho process cannot remove them. This adds a Docker-based
fallback: if fsPromises.rm fails with EACCES/EPERM, Sencho spawns a
short-lived Alpine container to clean up the root-owned files.
Also enhances docker compose down with --volumes --remove-orphans to let
Docker clean up its own resources before filesystem deletion.
* docs: clarify that pre-existing root-owned stacks can be deleted
* fix(stacks): include Docker stderr in fallback deletion error message
Fixes CI lint failure: 'stderr' was assigned but never read in
forceDeleteViaDocker(). Now surfaces Docker stderr output in the error
message when the fallback cleanup fails.
