fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository
vmk-dev opened this issue · comments
Upgraded docker engine to latest version and pulled latest docker image from myoung34/github-runner:latest.
Now runner cannot successfully run any job due to the following error:
/usr/bin/git config --local --get remote.origin.url
Error: fatal: --local can only be used inside a git repository
...
...
...
Error: fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/tmp/WORKDIR'
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /tmp/WORKDIR
Error: The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128
I have no volumes defined in the docker-compose file so permission errors only exist within the docker image.
Any ideas where this comes from?
This is a new feature of git introduced in version 2.35.2.
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config/2.35.2#Documentation/git-config.txt-safedirectory
If you are on a distro with that version or higher, then the running user will either need to own the directory or you can configure safe.directory to a wildcard.
Have you configured the work dir to be /tmp? The entrypoint script should configure the work dir to be owned by the run user.
@nmalaguti thank you for the answer. It was a problem with the permissions of my /tmp folder. Somehow it changed the owner which caused this problems. Solved
@vmk-dev i ran into the same issue but I don't see any difference in my /tmp folder ownership, hmm
@vmk-dev nevermind! on my host VM i reviewed the folders inside of /tmp/ which was work_1 and work_2 and they were:
drwxr-xr-x 3 1001 root 38 Aug 9 23:53 EXAMPLEFOLDER/
did a recursive chown and things are working again! although i wonder if the issue will pop up when the workers makes new folders
