Permission denied in /usr/src/app

[j0nm1]

Hi,
I'm using the docker image in combination with the following .gitlab-ci.yml:

run:
  variables:
    RENOVATE_TOKEN: $GITLAB_TOKEN
  image:
    name: renovate/renovate:24.38.0
    entrypoint: ['']
  script:
    - ln -sF $CI_PROJECT_DIR/config.js /usr/src/app/
    - node /usr/src/app/dist/renovate.js
  only:
    - schedules

This works great with renovate/renovate:24.38.0 but starts to fail with renovate/renovate:24.38.1 with the error: Permission denied

After investigating what could be the problem I found that the permissions of the app folder inside the /usr/src are different.

• 24.38.1: drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Feb 5 15:14 app
• 24.38.0.: drwxrwxr-x 1 ubuntu root 4096 Feb 4 13:52 app

I don't think this is intended but I wasn't able to find the exact commit that leads to this change.

Please checkout https://gitlab.com/renovate-bot/renovate-runner for official gitlab usage

run:
  variables:
    RENOVATE_TOKEN: $GITLAB_TOKEN
  image:
    name: renovate/renovate:24.38.0
  script:
    - renovate
  only:
    - schedules

The problem here is not the Gitlab CI but the permission change. Why is the folder now owned by root?

This is intended. you should not copy the config.js to the renovate directory.
You should not carte where renovate is installed to.

Renovate will read the config.js from current directory, so please use our official solution.
