TL;DR: The Storj Node Docker image is being updated to store binaries on the host system. This requires executable permissions on the host path that is mounted to /app/config directory. If you have a restrictive filesystem, you may need to adjust permissions. You can set a custom path with BINARY_…

[image] Alexey: What would you suggest? This is an option: [image] arrogantrabbit: or there shall be some wrapper service that wraps the updater and handles copying the executable. Or, better yet, the change needs to be made in the updater itself — it would need to update the executab…

[image] arrogantrabbit: Alternatively, it could write the most recently used node version it ever downloaded to data store, and then on container start update to at least that version. (I.e if cursor and mask indicates lower version — it will update to the last known higher version) This is w…

I think I fixed an issue: fixed exec issue for restricted systems by AlexeyALeonov · Pull Request #25 · storj/storagenode-docker · GitHub

Don’t you need to check if the should_update wants to downgrade the node, and prevent it from doing so? The idea is that downgrade should not be allowed; if the cursor resets then updater may decide to “update” to an old version. If I misunderstand the shall_update behavior of updater, and it ne…

Yes, it will not downgrade. However, there is one more issue - it will forcibly upgrade the node even if it’s not allowed yet. Fixed there: fixed the case if the suggested version is not allowed yet Commit by …

Sure, but what if /tmp: does not have +x allowed? is cleared f.e. from crontab?

I think my PR should solve both issues. It’s mostly relay on an how docker handles containers, so /app/bin should be safe - it’s inside the container, and must not have any restrictions from the host there. Of course, some exotic setup would have an issue to run binaries inside the container. But w…

Why is the binary not in the Docker image?

To decouple container updates from storagenode updates. Storagenode updates often. Container — ideally never.

That’s sounds strange. The idea of Docker is that the container has everything
