#61 fedora-toolbox image: sudo does not work
Closed 5 years ago Opened 5 years ago by edwintorok.

I can't install packages inside the container created by fedora-toolbox:

edwin@bolt:~ % SHELL=/bin/bash fedora-toolbox -v enter
🔹[edwin@toolbox ~]$ sudo dnf
sudo: effective uid is not 0, is /usr/bin/sudo on a file system with the 'nosuid' option set or an NFS file system without root privileges?
🔹[edwin@toolbox ~]$ dnf install vim
Error: This command has to be run under the root user.

I'm running the latest packages from rpm-ostree:

Also tried the --sudo flag but that failed in a different way:

I've noticed that the permissions on some directories inside the container are wrong, e.g. for /tmp (and if something as fundamental as /tmp gets its permissions wrong, there are likely more things wrong with podman created images):

podman build -t footest .

STEP 5: COMMIT footest

The permissions for /tmp on the base image are fine:

podman run -ti fedora:29 bash
l[root@a357d6628f5c /]# ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt. 2 root root 4096 Nov  6 06:48 /tmp

Also running podman as root leaves the permissions for /tmp intact, which would seem to suggest that this is a bug in rootless podman:

sudo podman build -t footest .

Thanks @edwintorok - I'll follow the upstream bug reports.

Should we close this issue since it's being addressed upstream?
