Q: systemd service: Is it possible to get the name of the user who triggered a power event?

I'm trying to modify the power-related service files that come with systemd (for example, systemd-reboot.service) so that they run another command before bringing down the system. I want this command to have access to the name of the user that triggered the power event. Is this possible through a...

Android Dev

@NathanOsman Cloning repo now...

Kaz Wolfe

gah.

this is going to be annoying.

I need to run apache as root. With regrettably no other way around it. :/

Nathan Osman

In a container?

Sidenote: Apache almost always runs as root so that it can drop privileges for the worker processes.

Kaz Wolfe

yes, in an isolated docker container, behind a firewall for a dev environment.

I just can't assume permissions will always be 777'd, and because this is a dev environment and files will be swapping in and out, the easiest way is to set apache to run as root.

well, unless i do bind-mounts but those are just painful.

Nathan Osman

00:17

Running things as root in a container is okay.

Kaz Wolfe

also...

Error:  Apache has not been designed to serve pages while
        running as root.  There are known race conditions that
        will allow any local user to read any file on the system.
        If you still desire to serve pages as root then
        add -DBIG_SECURITY_HOLE to the CFLAGS env variable
        and then rebuild the server.
        It is strongly suggested that you instead modify the User
        directive in your httpd.conf file to list a non-root
        user.

Seth

Or just use nginx.

Kaz Wolfe

can't.

Nathan Osman

Why?

Kaz Wolfe

trust me, i would.

I need to make as few changes to this docker container as possible.

minimize risk of breaking other people's environments.

Nathan Osman

00:18

Oh, you're running the workers as root.

Do not do that.

TheWanderer

Kaz u scrub

Nathan Osman

Meanwhile, I accidentally tripped ACME's rate limit and now I am waiting for it to cool down.

Kaz Wolfe

Well, if you have an alternate solution that doesn't involve requiring permissions to be set very specifically

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe Just use known UIDs.

TheWanderer

@NathanOsman wat

Kaz Wolfe

00:19

@NathanOsman I can't guarantee everyone who uses this container runs as UID 1000

Nathan Osman

@TheWanderer Loop condition failed and it went crazy with API requests,

TheWanderer

ACME?

Nathan Osman

Let's Encrypt.

The free TLS certificate folks.

TheWanderer

uh

but why ACME

confoos

Kaz Wolfe

Similarly, I can't guarantee everyone will be in the www-data group. Plus, users need to retain ownership over the files.

Nathan Osman

00:20

@TheWanderer github.com/ietf-wg-acme/acme (wrong link)

Name of the spec.

TheWanderer

oh

Kaz Wolfe

see my issue, @NathanOsman?

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe That's more than Docker can fix.

Kaz Wolfe

Well, too bad. Docker or the container itself needs to be the one to fix.

Nathan Osman

You could do something twisted with NFS I suppose.

Kaz Wolfe

00:22

And I can do this through bind-mounts or running Apache as root.

Neither of which are too appealing.

Nathan Osman

Bind mounts are the way to go.

If both are difficult, do the one that doesn't open a massive security hole.

Kaz Wolfe

They open the same sized security hole.

Nathan Osman

Not if you're doing SSL termination in the Apache container.

Kaz Wolfe

Dev environment.

Nathan Osman

None of this is running in production?

Kaz Wolfe

00:23

I wouldn't even dream of using Apache root if this was going anywhere near prod.

Nathan Osman

Whew.

Kaz Wolfe

I'm not that big of an idiot.

Nathan Osman

My faith in you is restored.

:D

Okay, never mind. Carry on.

Kaz Wolfe

The only thing that can get pwned is the docker container.

Or maybe the one directory I expose to it.

TheWanderer

@AndroidDev so if I don't start a new instance, how exactly do I switch back to the main activity?

Kaz Wolfe

00:25

(which itself should never happen because I hope everyone using these containers has a firewall)

Android Dev

@TheWanderer Call finish() on the activity that you started after it?

TheWanderer

@AndroidDev it's like two activites later though

I'm trying it now, but I don't have much hope

TheWanderer

00:42

@AndroidDev OK I fixed the bugs. Just .finish() everything when a new activity is launched

Discovered file magic numbers and "file -i" command today. It's one of those "Wow Windows had me brain-dead and powerless I love Linux Now days" :)

Now I have my own Docker dilemma - I need to send a Unix signal to a process in another container.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

FIFO pipe?

FIFO pipe works great between two bash scripts to eliminate race conditions I was experiencing.

terdon

@Avery It isn't.

Avery

I know that it's kind of like PPAs in terms of officiality, but it's hosted by arch linux project themselves. That's what I mean.

terdon

@Avery It is explicitly unsupported and unofficial. There is no control over it which is why you should always read through the pkgconfig and install scripts.

Avery

I know, but that's not bad enough to condemn the existence of the thing.

which is 99% of the IRC lol

Journeyman Geek

there's that

then again community is hell (but I like arch or at least the concept) so... I might actually switch to FreeBSD if/when my arch setup dies.

Journeyman Geek

terdon

@Avery "Community is hell"?

Journeyman Geek

tbh communitu/support is probably my big deciding factor

terdon

Arch has the best documentation in the Linux world. That counts for a lot.

Avery

@terdon usually, from what I've seen. IRC is more sane but esp. discord is problematic.

@terdon yeah, the wiki is AMAZING.

terdon

Oh, the forums are OK though. And so is Unix & Linux where Arch is very much on topic.

Avery

08:53

yeah, most of the times wiki didn't answer, UL, AU or arch/manjaro forums answered after a quick ducking.

terdon

I've found the Arch community to be quite helpful if you've done your homework first. It's a distro aimed at experts and hands on types, after all, so they have very little patience for "give me the codez".

Avery

(I'll drop by UL's room one day, but honestly am more familiar with community here, and try not to flood with off-topic stuff anyways.)

I'm not sure I'm ever on topic ....

Android Dev

Gradle

Gradle is an open source build automation system that builds upon the concepts of Apache Ant and Apache Maven and introduces a Groovy-based domain-specific language (DSL) instead of the XML form used by Apache Maven for declaring the project configuration. Gradle uses a directed acyclic graph ("DAG") to determine the order in which tasks can be run. Gradle was designed for multi-project builds which can grow to be quite large, and supports incremental builds by intelligently determining which parts of the build tree are up-to-date, so that any task dependent upon those parts will not need to be...

Been a busy day for me! I've just publicly performed a play with my theatre group. Although I think that the comical character I was playing got to me because someone got their lines a bit wrong and said my cue so I came on at the wrong time with all my comedy! :D Meaning I actually came on stage twice to do that bit because I did it early the first time and got kicked off the stage.

Android Dev

@ParanoidPanda Well it wasn't you fault that your cue was said at the wrong time

user136984

No, but I should have realised before that people were getting that scene confused with the one later on as they were quite similar and the lines had been mixed up once before. So I probably should have waited for more than just my cue.

Nathan Osman

@AndroidDev Nope, that's fine.

Android Dev

@NathanOsman OK. Just curious, why does it still show that the pull request is open if you already accepted it?

I'm new to git, so forgive my ignorance :)

Nathan Osman

I merged it into a different branch.

The pull request should be closed once it gets merged into master.

Android Dev

Ah. Now, if I want to make any other changes, should I also direct them to the "dark-theme" branch?

Nathan Osman

No, each new change should be a separate branch.

It is good practice to keep things separate as much as possible.

Android Dev

19:44

Oh, okay. And then each separate branch gets deleted when you merge the changes into master?

By the way, you can actually switch branches on the fly in Android Studio's GUI

You just pick a different branch from the drop down, and hit checkout

Now I see why devs love VCS

Much better than keeping duplicate copies of your code in a separate folder :)

Byte Commander

Well, that's more or less what git does, just in a more intelligent and automated way.

Android Dev

@ByteCommander Maybe so, but it does it behind the scenes so you don't have to worry about it. On another note, if you haven't tried uBlock Origin, you really need to. It's insane how much it speeds up page loading and the smoothness of scrolling.

Byte Commander

@AndroidDev If you can wait a few hours, I'll get this all pushed into master and then you can pull from there. I can get the exact command if you need it.

Ideally, you want the master branch on your fork to match the master on the original repository.

That's why branches should always be used for new features - so that your master branch can always be synchronized with mine.

Android Dev

@NathanOsman Sure, no problem. If you could provide the command though, that would be helpful. (It's kinda dumb that you can't do that through the web UI... I noticed that's been a feature request since 2013)

Nathan Osman

Yeah - GitHub is a little bit simplistic in the features it provides for merges.

Android Dev

By the way, sorry if I messed up the code formatting for you - I prefer opening brackets on a new line below the statement, rather that on the same line with it

Nathan Osman

21:55

Yeah, I wondered about that.

I was able to get it all fixed though.

It makes the diff a lot cleaner.

Android Dev

But it's your repo, so I'll respect your preferred formatting style :)

Nathan Osman

Thanks :)

Looking at the star wall it seems like there's been whole lot of fun discussions going on ?

Nathan Osman

Yesterday.

You missed all the fun yesterday.

Android Dev

Yeah. A mod was logged into Smoke Detector,

And George The Dev was present

The room has been mostly dormant today

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Yeah, I've been MIA lately a lot, unfortunately

TheWanderer

Ugh

@AndroidDev I noticed that's like the only thing you actually changed in my onStop methods lol

And y u remove my SuppressWarnings?

Guys

Should I try to make an SE chat wrapper?

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

I'd like a burrito wrapper

That'd be a nice tool to have

ugh . . . I've sequence detector for my floor switches and I've up/down counter to drive the elevator car . . .now i somehow need to figure out which sequence detector got triggered, and send the elevator car to its respective floor

Now, how in the world do i do that ?

TheWanderer

Hire a student from Berkeley and tell them you're against gun control. There's your trigger.

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy what are you doing

Wait

Android Dev

23:11

@TheWanderer Well, in all fairness, you would have seen the memory leak warning if you didn't suppress the warnngs.

TheWanderer

Chrome Android has a downloads page?

@AndroidDev before I Suppressed them, I didn't see the warnings

I also thought I'd deleted those variables...

Since I ended up not using them

Android Dev

@TheWanderer Well, I'll tell you the same thing I told Nathan. If you prefer your brackets on the same line as the statement, I'll be sure to but them back that way before I pull request - how's that? :)

TheWanderer

@AndroidDev that's good

But I still don't know why you changed them, and only them

Android Dev

@TheWanderer Because I modified all the onStops to print the exceptions

I didn't modify much else,

other than commenting out a few unused variables

and fixing the memory leaks

TheWanderer

I have to remember to pull those changes before I make any more

Android Dev

23:25

@TheWanderer I think AS has a dedicated pull button, but I could be mistaken.

Nathan Osman

Oh Android.

PreferenceActivity.getPreferenceManager() is deprecated. How do I get the PreferenceManager now?

/facepalm

So. Frustrating.
