FTS Working with certs exception

[acastval]

Hi, I run docker with standard config, all works well up to new user with certs should be created.
After submit action the FTS doesn’t update any user. On the other hand I can create admin user without it. 1.7.5 version.

Any help could be useful, thanks in advance.

Same issue for me too

This issue was first reported approaching a year ago, and it's pretty difficult to use any of this if you can't even create new users, so I'm starting to suspect this project is dead.

Anyway, this is what you find in the /data/logs/supervisor/FTS_stdout.log when trying to create a user with certs:

Since it's a permission issue, I'm guessing it's something to do with the fts user. Using pwdx, I can see that the FTS using / as the working directory, which the fts user doesn't have write access to. I changed the FTS processes to run as root by commenting out the user=fts line in /etc/supervisor/conf.d/supervisord.conf (I see in the repo, it's changed to "user=root" but that's not what's in the latest release [1.7.5] on dockerhub). Changing it to root allows it to create the certs (I see them at /) but then I get the following:

This is because this directory doesn't exist. I manually created the directory ClientPackages above and, what do you know, it works.
