Questions I asked on IRC:

[01/25/16 21:38] <matt_flaschen> gilles, in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/265370/ is there a reason the varnish user's home directory has to be /var/run/varnish ?
[01/25/16 21:39] <matt_flaschen> gilles, changing it to that causes a problem if the Varnish process is running, which it pretty much always is.
[01/25/16 21:40] <matt_flaschen> I can work around it (maybe hackily), but I'm wondering if we can define it as /home/varnish (the current value) (I guess the current user was created by a previous install process).
[01/25/16 21:40] <matt_flaschen> ^ bd808
[01/25/16 21:44] <matt_flaschen> gilles, bd808, I guess it completely changed the way it was installed (apt to build), so if /home/varnish would be a hassle we could just let it go and ask people to kill it one-time.

I'm not sure if this only affects upgrades, or also fresh installs. I think only upgrades, though (I guess the varnish user was created by the apt package that is no longer used).

I'm going to hack around it by killing varnish then doing the user change. If it does affect fresh installs we'll hear about it and can fix it then.

For now at least. See above.

I'm not even sure that it needs a home directory at all, I was just following a pattern of user creation in Vagrant I had seen elsewhere.

Oh, okay, then I'll see if /home/varnish works (to avoid a change for upgrades) (that's a much easier fix then allowing the directory change without in-use conflicts).
