Config option to allow the vagrant user to write to additional directories #479
Description
Activity
@thom8 in #442 (comment) you mentioned this:
... you could create a pre provisioning task which allows access to other directories...
How does one go about doing that?
@klonos you can create
pre&postprovisioning tasks with ansible -- https://beetbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/ansible/custom-tasks/You can see some example in this project for setting folder permissions eg. https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox/blob/master/provisioning/ansible/playbook-config.yml#L67-L74
and further info in the ansible file module --https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/file_module.html
Problem/Motivation
Backdrop CMS has its directories for contrib/custom modules and themes directly under the docroot (as opposed to Drupal 7, which is under
/sites/[whatever]/files).Steps to reproduce
Use the Project Browser that's available in core Backdrop CMS to install any contrib module/theme.
Expected behaviour
I would expect that it would be possible to install modules/themes via the UI.
Actual behaviour
When trying to install modules/themes via the UI, you get a "Permissions are not set up properly." error.
Proposed changes
Ideally: detect that this is a Backdrop installation and automatically configure permissions for the
/modules,/themesandlayoutsdirectories.Alternatively: provide a config option to specify additional directories within the docroot, where the
vagrantuser has write permissions
