2.7. Setting Gear Supplementary Groups
When the broker creates a gear, the gear is assigned a UNIX user UID and a matching group UID. Additional groups to the gears on a node can be assigned so that you can make group-owned files available to all the gears on the node.
Use the
GEAR_SUPL_GRPS
setting in /etc/openshift/node.conf
file to designate additional groups for the gears on that node. Note that you must create a group using standard system commands before you can add it to GEAR_SUPL_GRPS
. Separate multiple groups with commas.
GEAR_SUPL_GRPS="my_group,another_group"
Note
As a security measure,
root
and wheel
groups cannot be used as values for GEAR_SUPL_GRPS
.
