Enhancement: Use config file permissions to control file group access
|
|
|
|
Previously files in a local/sftp restic repository would always end up with
|
|
very restrictive access permissions allowing access only to the owner. This
|
|
prevented a number of valid use-cases involving groups and ACLs.
|
|
|
|
Now we use the config file permissions to decide whether group access
|
|
should be given to newly created repository files or not. We arrange for
|
|
repository files to be created group readable exactly when the repository
|
|
config file is group readable.
|
|
|
|
To opt-in to group readable repositories a simple `chmod -R g+r` or
|
|
equivalent can be used. For repositories that should be writable by group
|
|
members a tad more setup is required, see the docs.
|
|
|
|
Posix ACLs can also be used now that the group permissions being forced to
|
|
zero no longer masks the effect of ACL entries.
