Exclude files/folder

[gagarine]

Sometimes you want to set ACL but exclude some file. Is that possible?

Specially I want to set ACL on every files and folder inside a folder but not to the parent folder.

From the CLI, with the setfacl instruction you can give ACL permissions to all files/folders from a folder except the parent folder using this declaration:

setfacl -R -m u:webuser:rwx parent_folder_path/*

(Note the final *)

In deploy.rb, you can add this * in file_permissions_paths declaration:

#ACL Permissions
set :permission_method, :acl
set :file_permissions_paths, ["parent_folder_path/*"]
