Dear all devs, after beeing asked a lot of times to set permissions on linux file systems in a way that multiple users always have write access to files generated by another user (for example “apache”, “deployment”, dev user), I’d like to give you some idea how you can run this yourself on your laptops or dev server systems: Here is a code example that sets facl <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Access_Control_Lists> (file access control, some extended permission system) on a directory. This permissions are automatically passed on to files and directories within this directory (even if these get created later): TARGET="log" sudo setfacl -R --set u:r.kuehle:rwX,u:48:rwX,u::rwX,g::rX,o::- $TARGET sudo chown -R root:root $TARGET for t in $TARGET; do getfacl -p --access $t | sudo setfacl -dRM - $t; done TARGET: path to one or multiple directories (separate by whitespace) r.kuehle: some example user 48: example apache user in a docker container - not known on host system so uid must be used rwX: permissions, read + write (+ executable for directories and files which are executable, already) getfacl ... | setfacl ... in last line: install acls as default acl Kind regards, Gunnar -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Gunnar Mann - Systemadministration - ________________________________________________________ TraSo GmbH Nonnenstraße 42 D-04229 Leipzig Tel.: +49 341 355 740 76 Fax: +49 341 355 740 21 E-Mail: g.mann@traso.de <mailto:g.mann@traso.de> <https://www.traso.de/> <https://www.facebook.com/TraSoGmbH> <https://www.xing.com/companies/trasogmbh> ________________________________________________________ Geschäftsführer: Haiko Gerdes Handelsregister: Amtsgericht Leipzig, HRB 21850 <https://www.kununu.com/de/traso1> ________________________________________________________ Geschäftsführer: Haiko Gerdes Handelsregister: Amtsgericht Leipzig, HRB 21850 <https://www.kununu.com/de/traso1>
