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'

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. – Sven Sep 26 '15 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. – user1255102 Sep 26 '15 at 15:57

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

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