How can we give access to user in rollout

[ghost]

I am using rollout as a configuration manager.

I am using nginx as webserver and want to give read only access to nginx directory to a user.

How can I do that?

Please help me with this.

Thanks

This is a very broad question, I'm not sure exactly what you're asking here.

• If you want to give read only access to the directory from the shell, use
  the normal unix chown/chmod tools, that's nothing to do with nginx or
  rollout.
• If you want to give read only access over HTTP (through nginx) then
  you'll need to configure HTTP authentication in nginx (
  https://www.howtoforge.com/basic-http-authentication-with-nginx). Keep in
  mind that Rollout doesn't support HTTP authentication for it's HTTP
  requests, I've always relied on firewalls or port filtering for that.
• Rollout itself doesn't have any idea of authentication or users.

Thank you for the reply.

It's my pleasure to have a conversation with you. I have configured the nginx and managing everything via rollout.

If you need then I can give you my configured codes for the same.

I have attached the sample for the reference.

Nginx.txt

Thanks!

I still don't know what you mean by "read-only access to any specific user".

Do you mean access from the command line or by HTTP?

access via command line over linux server

[dparrish]

You can add a dir_check block

dir_check => [
[ '/app/nginx', 0755, 'www-data', 'www-data' ],
]

That ensures that the /app/nginx directory exists, and is owned by the
www-data user and group. The permissions (0755) allow any user to read the
directory.

Hi,

The dir_check in your configuration, and what dparrish mentioned will give
read-only access to all users (except root, and www-data) to the
'/app/nginx' directory only. Anything further down the directory tree is
not going to be guaranteed to have read-only permissions based on your
configuration. Do you want to ensure recursive read-only permissions for
'/app/nginx'?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for you reply!!

I have heard a lot of about you. It's my please to have a conversation with you.

I can't tell you how much I am happy while talking to you.

Actually my requirement is to give read only access on all nginx servers in my infrastructure to a user.

We are using few static servers, in which we are running nginx.
User wants read only access to all directory used by nginx. Do I need to add user in www-data group in rollout?

If you want to see the configuration, then I can give you all codes for better understanding.

Also I am getting one error in rollout as attached below:

Rollout error.txt

what does this means and how can I resolve this?

Thanks

Hi,

Those errors in the file 'Rollout.error.txt' aren't rollout related.
