Description

Observation

As observed in #177276 openQA never reads files in /etc/openqa/openqa.ini.d/ as it reads from /usr/share/openqa/etc/openqa/ which has symlinks to openqa.ini or database.ini

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: drop-in config files from /etc/openqa/openqa.ini.d/ are read by the openQA webUI when installed from the package
  • AC2: /etc/openqa/openqa.ini if present is still read
  • AC3: the openQA worker can still read /etc/openqa/workers.ini
  • AC4: the openQA-client can still read /etc/openqa/client.conf

Suggestions

  • Understand where the difference in reading comes from regarding symlinks in /usr/share/openqa/etc/openqa
  • Crosscheck worker+client from package installations
  • Verify with openQA-in-openQA tests

Out of scope

drop-in config file support for database.ini, client, worker

The latest PR is now deployed on o3 and it seems to work. The only problem I found it that one gets Mar 28 14:06:19 ariel openqa-webui-daemon[8657]: Can't open directory "/etc/openqa/openqa.ini.d": Permission denied at /usr/share/openqa/script/../lib/OpenQA/Config.pm line 29. even after changing the ownership of that directory. I suppose it is due to apparmor.

The symlinking has been removed so AC1 is now fulfilled. I have tested this locally with a packaged installation. The other config files are also still read so the remaining ACs are also fulfilled.
