Hi, I was wondering if some light could be shed as to why permissions on the mounted /tmp need to be 700 when using the job_container/tmpfs plugin.
I'm asking this because we are considering allowing for users to run rootless apptainer as a method for building containers from a slurm job, and I'm encountering the following issues: - 0700 permissions on /tmp do not sit well with certain builds (e.g. ubuntu images needing to write temp files in order to run "apt") - setting the APPTAINER_TMPDIR variable would in theory circumvent this, but I can't do this as it needs to be on disk, and all the other fs I have available are networked I have "solved" this by giving 1777 permissions to the mounted /tmp in the taskprolog, which was the only option I could find, as both prolog and init_script get to run prior to the construction of the /tmp namespace. Does this look like an appropriate solution? Best regards, -- Roberto P.
