Description Dirk Wiesenthal

2018-07-11 13:19:32 CEST

Some containers defined other users than root to be the default user.

E.g., with "univention-app shell jenkins" you end being "jenkins". This user has limited access to some files.

While this may be a desired feature in some situations, it makes package updates inside the container impossible. Some store/restore scripts may also depend on root access.

Fixed
  univention-appcenter 7.0.2-11A~4.3.0.201807211346

All scripts that are now run with "-u root".

univention-app shell got "-u/--user" with default "root".
