NAME

       image-factory-sudo-helper - Run certain commands as root

SYNOPSIS

       image-factory-sudo-helper COMMAND

DESCRIPTION

       image-factory  can  be  run  as normal user, but it need root permission for a few operations like chmod,
       mount, and umount.  Since these operations cannot be secured with sudo’s  wildcards,  image-factory-sudo-
       helper was introduced to check the commands using regular expression.

       image-factory-sudo-helper  will  take  a command (including parameters) and checks if it one of the three
       allowed commands:

       • chmod on files or (sub-)directories in /tmp/image-factory

       • mount of loop device in /tmp/image-factory

       • umount in /tmp/image-factory

       If the given command passes is one of the allowed commands, it will be executed.  Otherwise an error mes‐
       sage will be printed.

USAGE

       To allow running image-factory as normal user, only image-factory-sudo-helper needs sudo  permission  for
       the user.  Example sudo configuration for user jenkins:

              jenkins ALL = NOPASSWD:SETENV: /usr/bin/image-factory-sudo-helper

ENVIRONMENT

       If the environment variable DRYRUN is set, the given command will not be executed but printed instead.
