[BUG] Executing sudo command prompts “/etc/sudo.conf is owned by uid 1001”

[iCasture]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

The sudo command cannot execute properly, showing the following error:

sudo: /etc/sudo.conf is owned by uid 1001, should be 0
sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set

Expected Behavior

The sudo command should work normally.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Deploy the Docker container.
2. Access the Web UI and open the terminal to execute the sudo command.
3. Alternatively, directly access the container’s terminal via the command line and execute the sudo command.

Both methods result in the same error.

Your entire container filesystem appears to be owned by UID 1001, as you can see from the very first log message

/package/admin/s6-overlay/libexec/preinit: info: /run belongs to uid 1001 instead of 0 - fixing it

I'm not entirely sure how you achieve that without some serious messing with namespacing in the daemon config or possibly some very ill-advised chowning of /var/lib/docker, but it's the root of your sudo issue.
