I am trying to run a startup script in an ubuntu environment (Ubuntu 20.04) which would run as admin from the home directory once the machine has restarted after PXE deployment, like a normal sudo user. The user is "ubuntu". (the constraint is that it needs to be executed as admin in the home directory)
So during the deployment, I download the sh script from my ftp server, and I make it executable like this:
cd /home/ubuntu
wget ftp://my_server_ip/common/preseed/postConf.sh
chmod 755 /home/ubuntu/postConf.sh
I make it run at startup like this (using the init.d folder and making symbolic link to it in the rc2 folder):
cd /etc/init.d
wget ftp://my_server_ip/common/preseed/init.sh
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/init.sh
sed -i -e 's/\r$//' init.sh
ln -s /etc/init.d/init.sh /etc/rc2.d/S99init
The postconf.sh file installs a maas Setup and looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:maas/3.0-next
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y maas jq markdown nmap traceroute git curl wget zfsutils-linux cloud-image-utils virtinst qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils whois
sudo maas createadmin --username ubuntu --password password --email [email protected] --ssh-import gh:superpowers
...
The init.sh file looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
source /home/ubuntu/postConf.sh
Once the installation is finished, the scripts are copied correctly in the /home/ubuntu and in the /etc/init.d folders.
The problem is that it seems not to run correctly because I see that the maas software is installed by typing apt list --installed | grep maas etc. but the setup is not installed correctly (configs fail etc.). When I just execute on the other hand the postconf.sh file in sudo manually:
/home/ubuntu/postconf.sh
it works without any problems. Any Ideas how to make it work like a sudo user from the home directory? Thanks a lot
