Set permissions on downloaded files/archives

[dadgar]

It would be nice to be able to optionally set the permissions on downloaded artifacts.

Cross linking to Nomad issue: hashicorp/nomad#2625

[jshuping]

It would be nice to support specifying ownership as well.

Is there any update on this? Are we going to bring it soon?
thanks

oops, sorry, reopening because I thought this was a packer issue!

Ran in to this using hashi-nomad, I was expecting the result (unpacking a tar.gz from https) to have the permissions from the tar czpf. Instead, I get a version of the file that has different file permission bits set, unexpected.

Bumped into this once again in nomad sadly. :(

Any work going on on this? I keep feeling a need for this for downloaded binaries, for raw_exec type of jobs. 👀

Currently I am making do with chmod +x in the command option of the task.

A workaround for permissions is to package the file in a tar or zip archive, permissions are preserved when decompressing.

I don't think this is true, I tried this and it still decompressed it as root. Would love this to be fixed

Please fix. Please fix. Allow a chmod/chown type abstraction and all will be well to close this issue.

I'd like to work on this, is there a consensus on whether something like this should be supported or not? cc/ @dadgar

[shantanugadgil]

Any work for this? Could this be atleast implemented for the single file download mode? (mode = file)

[danishprakash]

Totally forgot about this issue. I think I'll take a shot at this over the weekend, hopefully, someone from the team can respond in the meantime.

Any luck on this one? It would make nomad's exec driver a lot more useful.
Thanks everyone!
