How to find out to which 'user' I should add 'scc'?


I'm trying to run elasticsearch container in my openshift project.

I got errors:

Privileged containers are not allowed capabilities.add: Invalid value: "IPC_LOCK": capability may not be added capabilities.add: Invalid value: "SYS_RESOURCE": capability may not be added

I've found out that you need to add privileged scc to user account (or create own dedicated one).

I've tried to follow docu https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.4/admin_guide/manage_scc.html where the following commands are given:

oc create serviceaccount mysvcacct -n myproject
oc adm policy add-scc-to-user privileged system:serviceaccount:myproject:mysvcacct

However, no single clue is given what is mysvcacct and why it is called mysvcacct.

Because my project is called logging, I've tried the following:

oc create serviceaccount logging -n logging
oc adm policy add-scc-to-user privileged system:serviceaccount:logging:logging 

but it didn't change anything. I keep getting the same error.

What I'm missing there? What name should I use instead of mysvcacct?


Solution

  • FYI, I introduce the example of yaml format.

    # oc patch dc/elasticsearch --patch '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"serviceAccountName": "logging"}}}}'
    # oc edit dc/elasticsearch
        ...
        spec:
          containers:
          - image: docker-registry.default.svc:5000/test/...
            imagePullPolicy: Always
            name: web
            ports:
            - containerPort: 8080
              protocol: TCP
            resources: {}
            terminationMessagePath: /dev/termination-log
            terminationMessagePolicy: File
          dnsPolicy: ClusterFirst
          restartPolicy: Always
          schedulerName: default-scheduler
          securityContext: {}
          serviceAccount: logging
          serviceAccountName: logging
