Force the home directory to be /home/rundeck (or perhaps /var/lib/rundeck/)
Reported by Deleted User | May 12th, 2011 @ 03:17 PM | in Rundeck 1.4.3 (closed)
Relying on the adduser command to place the rundeck user in the /home/rundeck is not always reliable. Seen /export/home/rundeck.

I believe the only thing we put in the rundeck home directory is the ssh key. If that's the case, generating the key into ~rundeck (whatever it is) and using ${user.home}/.ssh/name_of_id_rsa in framework.properties might be a solution.

+1 on basing it on ~rundeck, if that is compatible with RPM installer.

This is a show stopper for me because we are using NIS for user accounts and automounting the home directory and we can not add a user to the /home/ directory. I did adduser rundeck and gave it a different home directory, but when I try to use rundeck it still looks in the /home/rundeck/ directory for the ssh keys. Adding comment mostly to get notice when it is fixed and also to note the priority of this issue. Thanks - I can't wait until this works!

Is /var/lib/rundeck more appropriate? I think avoiding the /home directory all together is a wise move.

I think so...since nothing depends on the /home/rundeck convention. I'll change it to /var/lib/rundeck...now should I make it a nologin shell?

Placing a Rundeck user in a specific directory requires appropriate installation and configuration steps to ensure system security retro bowl and performance.

You're absolutely right, relying solely on adduser to place the rundeck user in its desired home NBA Grid directory can be unreliable. There are indeed cases where you might end up with unexpected locations like /export/home/rundeck.
