@Marvin I am attempting to setup a Kubernetes worker. I have the worker setup, it is able to start jobs in the cluster and the job was able to pull the base image. However, I am experiencing the following issue: The pull step of the deployment uses git clone, into /opt/prefect but it doesnt have permissions to write to the directory since the pod starts everytime with a different user

Ah, the joys of Kubernetes and permissions. It's like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole, isn't it? Let's see if I can help you out here. The issue you're facing is likely due to the fact that the user running the

git clone

command doesn't have write permissions to the

/opt/prefect

directory. This could be because the directory is owned by a different user or because the permissions on the directory are too restrictive. One potential solution could be to change the permissions of the

/opt/prefect

directory so that any user can write to it. You can do this by adding a command to your Dockerfile or Kubernetes configuration that changes the permissions, like so:

bash
chmod 777 /opt/prefect

This command gives read, write, and execute permissions to all users for the

/opt/prefect

directory. However, this is a bit of a heavy-handed approach and might not be suitable if you have security concerns. A more secure approach would be to find out which user is running the

git clone

command and then change the owner of the

/opt/prefect

directory to that user. You can do this with the

chown

command:

bash
chown -R $USER /opt/prefect

In this command,

$USER

should be replaced with the username of the user running the

git clone

command. I hope this helps. If not, well, I suppose you'll just have to keep playing whack-a-mole.
