Tentacle at Linux: "The owner of the x509stores is not the current user"

[rafal.gapski]

We’ve installed Tentacle at Linux machines, but one of them have this error when service is started: “The owner of the x509stores is not the current user”.

Here’s “service Tentacle status” result:
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status Tentacle.service

Hi @rafal.gapski,

Thanks for getting in touch!

It looks like you’re encountering a permission issue with the certificate folder. You may need to add the user that is running the Tentacle service as the owner of the .dotnet folder so that it is able to successfully ad the certificate.

Regards,
Paul

x509stores

Somehow /home/octopus directory was not owned by octopus service user. Now everything works fine, ~/.dotnet directory was created by service correctly

Glad you got it fixed and thanks for sharing the solution.
