- = Run as different users
- OliveTin does not *need* to run as root. It does not request any special
- permissions from the operating system that require root (as long as you run on
- ports above 1024, and it can read/write it's configuration). So, you can run as
- any non-root user if you wish.
- However, it is very convenient to run as root, as many users will need to run
- actions and jobs that do require root permissions.
- There are no ways in OliveTin to specify which user runs an action, because the
- Linux OS has several great ways to do this already, and adding support for it
- in OliveTin just adds bloat when there are perfectly good ways that already
- exist.
- == EG: Using sudo;
- ----
- actions:
- - title: Run echo as a different user
- shell: sudo -u bob echo "I am Bob."
- ----
- If you are worried about security, you could run OliveTin as a non-privileged
- user, and use sudo rules to control what it can and cannot do.
