Title: Message Title Branan Riley commented on FACT-1351 Re: Facter on Alpine Linux requires root permissions We need to do the Facter 2.5 gem before we can do the Puppet 5.0.0 gem, but it doesn't have to lead it by a lot. We're probably doing that release in the next sprint, so if you can get the PR up in the next couple of weeks it should be no problem to get in.

Title: Message Title Branan Riley commented on FACT-1351 Re: Facter on Alpine Linux requires root permissions The right fix, if we want to support Alpine as a first-class citizen, is to get a proper Facter 3 build there. Possibly a real agent build. We are (despite my best efforts to murder it) doing a Facter 2.5 gem release soon to support Ruby 2.4 for developer workflows, and roll up some other minor fixes that never got out the door. If you can supply a patch we can likely incorporate it, but since Alpine is not a platform that we currently consider an agent target, we are unlikely to get to this ourselves Add Comment This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029-sha1:ae256fe) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.

Jira (FACT-1351) Facter on Alpine Linux requires root permissions
Title: Message Title Gareth Rushgrove commented on FACT-1351 Re: Facter on Alpine Linux requires root permissions Unfortunately this is the only way of running Facter at present on Alpine as we don't have native puppet agents available. The puppet-agent-alpine (https://hub.docker.com/r/puppet/puppet-agent-alpine/) docker image has proved the most popular of the agent images released, with 46071 downloads as of today. That incorporates the workaround but if we want to have supported Docker images using Alpine (based on the above that would likely be appreciated by the community) we'll probably need to consider this issue. That might want tracking elsewhere so feel free to close and simply link that up I guess.

Facter on Alpine Linux requires root permissions
Change By:
Gareth Rushgrove
Running facter on Alpine linux as a non-root user currently fails with the following error:{code}$ facterPermission denied @ dir_initialize - /sys/block/{code}The version of facter is 2.4.6, installed via the gem as a native package for Alpine is not available.{code}$ facter --version2.4.6{code}Note that asking for specific facts does not trigger the error, for instance:{code ] } $ facter osfamilyLinux{code}I've tracked this down to the blockdevice facts, and can trigger the error by asking for those facts directly.{code}$ sudo facter | grep blockblockdevice_sda_model => VBOX HARDDISKblockdevice_sda_size => 10737418240blockdevice_sda_vendor => ATAblockdevices => sda$ facter blockdevice_sda_modelCould not retrieve blockdevice_sda_model: Permission denied @ dir_initialize - /sys/block/$ facter blockdevice_sda_sizeCould not retrieve blockdevice_sda_size: Permission denied @ dir_initialize - /sys/block/$ facter blockdevice_sda_vendorCould not retrieve blockdevice_sda_vendor: Permission denied @ dir_initialize - /sys/block/$ facter blockdevicesCould not retrieve blockdevices: Permission denied @ dir_initialize - /sys/block/{code}So it appears to be the block device facts which require the permissions.The workaround I'm using at present is to delete those facts from the filesystem :){code}$ sudo rm /usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/facter-2.4.6/lib/facter/blockdevices.rb{code}I think it would be good if, instead of preventing all output due to failures in individual facts, facter could fail only to output the blockdevice facts, maybe logging a warning, and output everything else.
