Installing RKE with a Specified UID

When installing Sisense, the default installation user ID is 1000. Sometimes, due to security restrictions, it is not possible to use UID 1000. In this case, you need to specify a different UID and use it to install Sisense.

Note:

When using a non-default UID, internal and external monitoring are not natively supported.
The user must have a name other than sisense.

Before installing Sisense, on each node:

Create the user that you want to use, and generate a password for it. Make sure that the user is on each node with the same UID.
sudo adduser CustomUsername
Add the user to the sudoers file: /etc/sudoers.d/custom-user-permission.
CustomUsername ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Add the user to the docker group.
sudo usermod -aG docker CustomUsername
Connect to the node as the user you created.
sudo su - CustomUsername
Configure the SSH key to all the nodes. For details, see https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys-on-linux-unix/.
Run the following command on each of the instances:
ssh-copy-id CustomUsername@instance_node_IP

For a Provisioner installation

Set the following parameters:

securityContext:
- UID
- GID
- fsGroup (a Kubernetes setting) If you do not have something specific you want to use, you can use the user's GID.
monitoring (must be set to false)
- internal
- external

Example:

securityContext:

	runAsUser: 5050

	runAsGroup: 5050

	fsGroup: 5050

monitoring:

	internal: false

	external: false
