Docker image for zoonavigator-web 0.6.0 results in Permission Denied

[rajha-korithrien]

I have a Kubernetes based deployment of the prebuilt docker image
elkozmon/zoonavigator-web:0.6.0

When I deploy this image I get the following in the Pod logs:

2019/04/08 20:26:29 [emerg] 14#14: mkdir() "/var/cache/nginx/client_temp" failed (13: Permission denied)

nginx: [emerg] mkdir() "/var/cache/nginx/client_temp" failed (13: Permission denied)

The container then exits with a non-zero exit status and Kubernetes redeploys it. We end up in an infinite loop :-)

Have I missed some instructions about needing to create some kind of volume mount?

[elkozmon]

I'm sorry to hear that. You haven't missed anything I assure you. :)

I took a brief look at it and it seems that the issue here might be that the parent Docker image (nginx) requires to be run as root/privileged. I definitely intend to fix this if that's the case but until then I don't think I can help besides suggesting to lift the privileges, sorry.

I'll just drop this link here in case it proves useful later on.

I see,
I am in a position to help fix this if you would like.
If you would like me to help, what branch would you like me to start with?

It may be as straight forward as changing the docker image being used for nginx to nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged. I will test this and let you know if it works.

Thanks!

[elkozmon]

Absolutely, I'd appreciate the help 👍

If it works with the alpine-based image from nginxinc, you can submit PR based on the master branch.

Thanks!

Well done, thank you! I've merged it and published new version 0.6.1.
