Subject: [RFC 1/1] test-container: block sudo usage on rootless
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 15:45:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021134540.331832-1-felix.moessbauer@siemens.com> (raw)

In rootless mode, no sudo calls must be made. However, the kas-container
ships passwordless sudo which also works in the container. To catch the
cases where sudo is called in rootless mode, we replace it in the
container entrypoint of the test container with a stub that emits a
meaningfull error message along with a non zero exit code.

Signed-off-by: Felix Moessbauer <felix.moessbauer@siemens.com>

A similar approach could be implemented in the gitlab CI executor
as well.
