    CageFS make Node.js available to all users by default

    On CloudLinux server, when you install alt-nodejs packages, binary files get installed at

    /opt/alt/alt-nodejs16/root/bin/node

    When SSH into a user and run the command “node”, it won’t work. When deploying Node.js application with Cpanel, you will be given a command, that is used to switch to the environment with specific version of node.js the application is using.

    If you want to make node.js available to all users by default, even with out a node.js application configured, you do the following

    ln -s /opt/alt/alt-nodejs16/root/bin/node /usr/bin/node
ln -s /opt/alt/alt-nodejs16/root/bin/npm /usr/bin/npm
ln -s /opt/alt/alt-nodejs16/root/bin/npx /usr/bin/npx

    This will make “alt-nodejs16” as the default Node.js, if you need to use another version of Node.js default, change the paths as required. If you don’t have it installed, install it with

    yum install -y alt-nodejs16

    Create file

    vi /etc/cagefs/conf.d/node.cfg

    Add following content

    [node]
comment=Node
paths=/usr/bin/node, /usr/bin/npm, /usr/bin/npx

    Update CafeFS and remount all users

    cagefsctl --force-update
cagefsctl -M

    Now Node.js will be available to all users by default.

  • CageFS command not working for user

    I have flvtool2 installed on the server. Path to binary file location was added in file /etc/cagefs/conf.d/vshare.cfg

    [root@server22 ~]# cat /etc/cagefs/conf.d/vshare.cfg 
[vshare]
comment=vShare Youtube Clone Requirements
paths=/usr/bin/ffmpeg, /usr/bin/mencoder, /usr/bin/mplayer, /usr/bin/flvtool2, /usr/bin/lame, /usr/bin/yamdi, /usr/bin/qt-faststart, /usr/bin/MP4Box, /usr/bin/mediainfo, /usr/bin/neroAacEnc
[root@server22 ~]#

    The binary program works properly when running as root, but it fail when switching to a user that use CageFS.

    [root@server22 ~]# /usr/bin/flvtool2 -V
FLVTool2 1.0.6
[root@server22 ~]# su - socialwe
Last login: Thu May 28 06:33:33 UTC 2020 on pts/0
[socialwe@server22 ~]$ /usr/bin/flvtool2 -V
:1:in `require': cannot load such file -- rubygems.rb (LoadError)
from :1:in `'
[socialwe@server22 ~]$

    The problem is fixed by editing file /etc/cagefs/cagefs.mp

    vi /etc/cagefs/cagefs.mp

    Add following lines

    !/usr/lib64/ruby/
!/usr/share/rubygems/
!/usr/share/ruby/
!/usr/local/share/ruby/

    Now remount cagefs with

    cagefsctl --remount-all

    See cagefs

    Enable CafeFS for all cpanel users
