Create a new user that have access to a specific folder

amelo · December 17, 2019, 9:41pm

Hi all,

I am trying to create a new user and give permission to access a restricted folder. I found many tutorials, suggesting to change the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, but it’s not working as it should. Do you have any suggestions or maybe there is a way do to that using trellis structure?

In other words:
I want to create a new user: upload-user

This user, when using SFTP, should be able to have access to the following folder:
/srv/www/mysite.com/current/

Not sure if it’s possible but any help would be much appreciated.

You can use the ansible user module for that.
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/user_module.html
And hook into one of these hooks:

github.com

roots/trellis/blob/457476347b057731d649c73f5ee8bcec32bc93ad/roles/deploy/hooks/example.yml

# This is a placeholder example hook file
# To use deploy hooks, please refer to the docs at https://roots.io/trellis/docs/deploys
#
# tl;dr
#   1. create a tasks file you wish to include on a certain hook
#   2. set one of the below hook variables to "{{ playbook_dir }}/path/to/tasks-file.yml" in `deploy.yml`
#
#  Available hooks:
#    - deploy_before
#    - deploy_initialize_before
#    - deploy_initialize_after
#    - deploy_update_before
#    - deploy_update_after
#    - deploy_prepare_before
#    - deploy_prepare_after
#    - deploy_build_before
#    - deploy_build_after
#    - deploy_share_before
#    - deploy_share_after
#    - deploy_finalize_before
