Public bug reported:
I'm doing something like this in my lxc config:
config:
raw.idmap: both 1000 1000
devices:
foo:
path: /home/ubuntu/foo
source: /home/<user>/foo
type: disk
This is to make /home/ubuntu/foo map to my host's /home/<user>/foo.
However, if I do this before starting the container for the first time,
then /home/ubuntu inside the container ends up owned by root. The ubuntu
user cannot write to it, which causes various problems.
Presumably this is because at the time that cloud-init attempts to
create the ubuntu user, /home/ubuntu already exists, so it leaves it
alone. But this breaks my use case.
I wonder if there's a way that cloud-init could detect and accomodate
this situation?
Workaround: I can fix this with:
runcmd:
- chown ubuntu. /home/ubuntu
Using a 16.04 host, lxd 2.0.8-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04.2, and a Xenial guest
with cloud-init 0.7.8-49-g9e904bb-0ubuntu1~16.04.4.
