2017-02-27 16:42:18 Philip Roche gce-compute-image-packages (Ubuntu): status New Confirmed
2017-03-20 15:29:24 Philip Roche description A user reported (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages/issues/376) that startup scripts are running when the guest packages get updated on Ubuntu. This can of course have very unexpected consequences. I did some digging and found that the postinst you are using is not the same as ours and appears to start all the systemd services including startup and shutdown scripts when it runs. if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then systemctl --system daemon-reload >/dev/null || true deb-systemd-invoke start google-accounts-daemon.service google-clock-skew-daemon.service google-instance-setup.service google-ip-forwarding-daemon.service google-network-setup.service google-shutdown-scripts.service google-startup-scripts.service >/dev/null || true We have a postinst that works on other systemd platforms which you are welcome to use or mimic here: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages/blob/master/google_compute_engine_init/systemd/postinst.sh [Impact] * This bug affects: Zesty, Yakkety, Xenial and Trusty * When a user upgrades to a newer version of gce-cimpute-image-packages then the google-startup-scripts service is run which causes any configured startup scripts to be executed. * Running these scripts more than once on a running instance is not exptected behaviour and depending on the contents of the user's scripts could have disastrous consequences. * The fix tis to use override_dh_systemd_start in the debian/rules to alter the generated postinst, prerm and postrm files to not restart the startup or shutdown scripts on upgrade or install. [Test Case] * Start instance with shutdown script and startup script gcloud compute instances create ubuntu-1604-xenial-v20170224 --image-project ubuntu-os-cloud --image "ubuntu-1604-xenial-v20170224" --metadata shutdown-script="#! /bin/bash touch /home/ubuntu/shutdown.txt",startup-script="#! /bin/bash touch /home/ubuntu/startup.txt" # Run the following on the running instance # clean up instance ready for testing rm -f ~/startup.txt # Add new PPA with fixed package sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:philroche/gce-compute-image-packages sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade gce-compute-image-packages # Note that the first upgrade will always result in shutdown # scripts being run as the initial gce-compute-image-packages postrm script are still in use. # verify that the bug still exists if [ -f ~/shutdown.txt ]; then echo "Shutdown File found! Bug still present" rm -f ~/shutdown.txt fi [Regression Potential] * Possible regressions are that the startup and shutdown script services never start and user's scripts to not get executed. This has been tested and is not the case.
