Non Root WME Execution

---

If the ssh user does not have privileges(root/sudo), Please follow below steps.

Platform Instance

• Please add below content in sudoers file so that the non-root-user can excute the commands mentioned in the below content as a previliged user.

sudo echo "<non-root-execution-user-name> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl daemon-reload, /bin/systemctl restart docker, /bin/systemctl status docker, /bin/systemctl stop docker, /bin/systemctl start docker, /usr/sbin/service docker restart, /usr/sbin/service docker start, /usr/sbin/service docker stop, /usr/sbin/service docker status, /sbin/ip link set docker0 down, /sbin/ip link del dev docker0 type bridge, /usr/bin/chown" >> /etc/sudoers

For an Example

sudo echo "non-root-username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl daemon-reload, /bin/systemctl restart docker, /bin/systemctl status docker, /bin/systemctl stop docker, /bin/systemctl start docker, /usr/sbin/service docker restart, /usr/sbin/service docker start, /usr/sbin/service docker stop, /usr/sbin/service docker status, /sbin/ip link set docker0 down, /sbin/ip link del dev docker0 type bridge, /usr/bin/chown" >> /etc/sudoers

• Change permission for few directories to non-root user after docker installation/upgrade

  sudo usermod -aG docker <user>
  sudo chown -R <non-root-execution-user-name>:<non-root-execution-user-name> /usr/lib/systemd/system
  sudo chown -R <non-root-execution-user-name>:<non-root-execution-user-name> /etc/sysconfig
  sudo chown -R <non-root-execution-user-name>:<non-root-execution-user-name> /etc/systemd/system
  sudo chown -R <non-root-execution-user-name>:<non-root-execution-user-name> /wm-runtime
  sudo chown -R <non-root-execution-user-name>:<non-root-execution-user-name> /wm-data

• Check user permissions for jq and python. Make sure you are able to execute jq and python commands from the non-root user

note

For external no new prerequisites required please follow steps mentioned in previous page itself

Once This is done switch to your not root user where you can execute the WaveMaker installation for fresh setup/patch
