Horilla - Open Source HR Software

[BrutalBirdie]

For now I've identified the following folders as runtimeDirs meaning, they need read-write access. Explanation behind runtimeDirs in the context of Cloudron => https://docs.cloudron.io/packaging/manifest/#runtimedirs
Many are the case because __pycache__ is being written into them and also from migrations:

  "runtimeDirs": [
    "/app/code/horilla_documents",
    "/app/code/payroll",
    "/app/code/.venv/",
    "/app/code/facedetection",
    "/app/code/geofencing",
    "/app/code/helpdesk",
    "/app/code/pms",
    "/app/code/recruitment",
    "/app/code/accessibility",
    "/app/code/asset",
    "/app/code/horilla_api",
    "/app/code/offboarding",
    "/app/code/horilla_audit",
    "/app/code/horilla_crumbs",
    "/app/code/horilla_automations",
    "/app/code/horilla_backup",
    "/app/code/horilla",
    "/app/code/attendance",
    "/app/code/onboarding",
    "/app/code/horilla_views",
    "/app/code/biometric",
    "/app/code/employee",
    "/app/code/leave",
    "/app/code/base",
    "/app/code/notifications",
    "/app/code/project"
  ]

This is "meh".
The core application should be read-only, I remember I tried to do:

uv run manage.py makemigrations
uv run manage.py migrate
uv run manage.py compilemessages

inside the Dockerfile to have all that as read-only but then there were still errors
Will have to look into that again.

@BrutalBirdie The problem is likely due to the media folder being owned by root, while the application server (typically running as a non-root user inside Cloudron) doesn't have read access.
Can you confirm whether the Cloudron running user has the access for the same?

[BrutalBirdie]

Agree it should not be run as root. but if everything runs as root, should work, right?
