My Server throws an error if the following git post-receive hook is called:

#!/bin/sh # pm2 start main.js --name powerapp

If the command is entered by one by one into the terminal it will work. So what am I doing wrong?

Error:

remote: fs.js:642 remote: return binding.mkdir(pathModule._makeLong(path), remote: ^ remote: Error: EACCES, permission denied '/etc/.pm2' remote: at Object.fs.mkdirSync (fs.js:642:18) remote: at Object.CLI.pm2Init (/home/nodejs/.local/lib/node_modules/pm2/lib/CLI.js:39:8) remote: at Object.<anonymous> (/home/nodejs/.local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2:21:5) remote: at Module._compile (module.js:456:26) remote: at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10) remote: at Module.load (module.js:356:32) remote: at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12) remote: at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10) remote: at startup (node.js:119:16) remote: at node.js:901:3

pm2 was installed via npm install pm2 -g and should run by the user 'git'.

  • What is the home directory of the git user? Likely it's /etc, but that's a bad idea, because no one except root should be allowed to create files in there. Commented Sep 26, 2015 at 14:53
  • In the terminal echo $HOME tells '/var/opt/gitlab'. But if I try #!/bin/bash # echo $HOME in my post-receive hook there is an empty result. Guess I messed something up with my home folder. Commented Sep 26, 2015 at 15:57

Reset to default

export PM2_HOME='/var/opt/gitlab/.pm2'

did it for me. Still wondering if I misconfigured something.
