Don’t do that!

Some “best practices” that you should keep in mind, that would otherwise would cause you problems.

Permissions

Pacha needs as much permissions as the files it is reading. That is, if you need to watch stuff inside of /root then you would need to have as much permissions as the root user.

Mixed Versions

We are in constant and heavy development, for the most part, that means that Pacha can make some internal changes that will not be compatible for older versions.

If you have an environment that runs Pacha, have all the instances running the same version. If you are updating, make sure all your instances are updated as well.

Mixed Users

Pacha can run with different users with different permission levels. However, we do not encourage using it as a Master with an unpriviliged user. This will cause issues when trying to read files.

We had someone report issues when trying to have a Single instance (Master/Slave in a single server) that would have certain files owned by root that would not be able to push to the unpriviliged user.

About Complaints and Feature Requests

It is OK to send me (Alfredo Deza) an email, but do not use it as a fast way to make me help you with your issue. The same goes to a feature request.

I usually find it annoying to receive those kind of emails when there is an Issue Tracker that works as a feature request tracker.

Use it!
