Ricardo,

Thanks for the reply.

Like what I asked in https://github.com/RedHatInsights/ubi-hive/issues/8#issuecomment-870040679 I’m aware of the guidelines of container images for OpenShift must support any UID and using GID 0.

I like the solution of providing username in /etc/passwd via an entrypoint.sh, the only problem is this entrypoint.sh is provided in another repo or any other repo that uses this UBI-hive.

According to my use case where it uses hive-metastore to store table schema and partitions info for Trino, I’m using the entrypoint.sh solution now, I wonder if it’s a good idea to provide such entrypoint.sh within the image itself, or at least document it that it needs to provide a username for the java process or it won’t function.

Hello Ke,

Can you share your use-case for the ubi-hive image? What problem are you facing?

When creating images to run on top of OpenShift, we follow some guidelines[1] to improve security in the deployments. Explicitly assigning a username is not a good practice because of the random UIDs that can be assigned to the container running on OpenShift, and thus adding an entry in /etc/passwd from an entrypoint script is the solution for processes that need a name assigned to a UID. Due to this, I think your change won't be accepted by the ubi-hive developers. That being said, though we use their image with Trino, they are not part of the ODH community.

Hope that helps.

I’ve followed the comments of https://github.com/opendatahub-io/odh-images/issues/2 to use UBI images for both Hive and Trino. But don’t get any attention on https://github.com/RedHatInsights/ubi-hive/issues/8 nor https://github.com/RedHatInsights/ubi-hive/pull/9

So I wonder what’s the suggested way to update these images?
