Running the node as sudo can't run without sudo privilege anymore #82

Description

@powerpsy

*** Normal operation:
If you launch a node (or update the node)
./run_node.sh -n TESTNET --ip xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
it will execute the batch file to download the node binary and launch it smoothly.

*** Bug:
If by mistake you launch with sudo
sudo ./run_node.sh -n TESTNET --ip xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
It will still execute the batch file, but will download a full copy of the parity database before launching the container.
Then you are stuck with launching everytime with "sudo ./run_node.sh", which is not recommended. It does not work when calling again "./run_node.sh" (without sudo) : docker container output is restarting continuously)

*** Workaround (unsuccessful)

  • Deleting the full database and removing the aleph_node_runner directory, git pull and restarting won't be a success.

*** Solution found

  • Clean reinstall of ubuntu server and ./run_node.sh -n TESTNET --ip xxx.xxx.xx.xxx works.
