raspiblitz: Permission issues on 1.10.0rc5

First of all, I’m running on a minipc (amd64 image). Managed to install Debian, ran build_sdcard.sh and after some issues with the blockchain and SSD, and a new IBD, the node is up and running! (I’ll try and document this later)

I found a couple of issues, now the node is running (BTC and LND), which seem related to permissions:

nginx: nginx -t nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok 2023/09/07 09:49:42 [emerg] 145892#145892: open() "/run/nginx.pid" failed (13: Permission denied) nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

so DIR_MODE should be uncommented and set to 0755 ?

yes, that should work or we need to change the adduser commands to (eg for a user: test):

sudo adduser --system --group --home /home/test test

I think changing the commands is better than modifying the default behaviour, but a on an individual system both changes result in the same.

Basically now you should succeed with the steps:

install debian on SSD
ssh into PC with pi / raspiblitz
change in /etc/adduser.conf

#DIR_MODE=0700

DIR_MODE=0755

run sudo build_sdcard.sh …
reboot
ssh with admin / raspiblitz

The problem is because in the difference in: /etc/adduser.conf Debian 11:

# If DIR_MODE is set, directories will be created with the specified
# mode. Otherwise the default mode 0755 will be used.
DIR_MODE=0755

Debian 12:

# The permissions mode for home directories of non-system users.
# Default: DIR_MODE=0700
#DIR_MODE=0700

# The permissions mode for home directories of system users.
# Default: SYS_DIR_MODE=0755 
#SYS_DIR_MODE=0755

Yes latest Debian.

Process was :

install debian on SSD
ssh into PC with pi / raspiblitz
run sudo build_sdcard.sh .....
reboot
ssh with admin / raspiblitz
…
