Config File Permission Denied

[Qwerty-Space]

Description

Hello,

I installed glance using the glance-bin package on the AUR, v0.7.13.

The service automatically sources the config file /etc/glance.yml, so within that file I have included a file from my home directory (/home/qwerty/.config/glance/glance.yml).

I have made the config file in my home directory owned by the glance user and group, and given it 664 perms, yet when restarting the service it says:
May 12 13:52:17 samurai glance[722247]: parsing config: reading included file /home/qwerty/.config/glance/glance.yml: open /home/qwerty/.config/glance/glance.yml: permission denied

I think it might be something to do with these options specified in the service file:

ReadOnlyPaths=/etc/glance.yml
ProtectSystem=strict
ProtectHome=true

But even after removing those options, it still doesn't work. Same error.

Have you set the correct owner and permissions?

As stated in my original post:

Have you set world execute permissions on every directory leading up to the config file? Try executing chmod o+x $HOME $HOME/.config $HOME/.config/glance. You can quickly check if the file is readable by running sudo -u glance cat ~/.config/glance/glance.yml. Do note that you only need world execute permissions on the directories, so this probably doesn't pose any security risks, depending on your threat model.
