dfdaemon download error when running as a non root user.

[ghost]

Hi,

I have developed dfget resource plugin to support the oras:// transport.

when ran dfget as a root user the oras plugin is working as expected , and hardlink is created when an attempt is made to pull the oras image which has already pulled before.

but for a non root user the hardlink creation is not happening and each time it "try to download from source and ignore the rate limit" and below log msg is getting printed out in core.log of dfget

should i need to make any configuration changes when running dfget as a non-root user?

@embroede Thanks

dfget will launch a new process with dfget daemon. By default, the configuration is system wide, so use root user. If you want make dfget daemon none root, change all directories to none root dir, like '/var/log/...', '/var/lib/...' and so on.

cacheDir: /home/test/dragonfly/cache
logDir: /home/test/dragonfly/log
dataDir: /home/test/dragonfly/data

Is there also a change required to the permissions of the socket file?
