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 message 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.
