Bitbucket pipeline: Owner of cloned files/dirs is root

Marcus_hfoysz

Unfortunately the things that get cloned during a bitbucket pipeline are owned by root. Even if you set the run-as-user directive this is still the case. The only thing that changes when setting this directive is that the cached directories are owned by the defined user.

This is a problem on our use case, because we start a container within this container, where the user is not root. And we share the volume with this container, so we have a permission problem there.

Hi Morgus,

You can add in your yml file a command to change the owner and group of the files in the build container's clone directory.

For example, if you want to change the owner to pipelines user and group to pipelines, you can execute the command:

sudo chown -R pipelines:pipelines /opt/atlassian/pipelines/agent/build

Does this work for you?

Kind regards,
Theodora
