editUsers and permissions prerequisites
editThe following users and permissions are required:
-
To prepare your environment: A user with
sudo
permissions, such as the ubuntu user provided on Ubuntu. -
To install ECE: A user with a UID and GID greater than or equal to 1000 who is part of the
docker
group. You must not install ECE as theroot
user.
You can find out information about a user with the id
command:
id uid=1000(elastic) gid=1000(elastic) groups=1000(elastic), 4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy), 27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),44(video), 46(plugdev),102(netdev),112(libvirtd),1001(docker)
In this example, the user elastic
with a UID and GID of 1000 belongs to both the sudo
and the docker
groups.
