Zhitao Li commented on AURORA-657:
----------------------------------

Hi, any update on this? We are working on migration many docker containers onto Aurora and a lot of them relies on docker's WORKDIR to correctly find some file(s).

We could help to work on this if someone could help on review. Thanks!

> Currently the aurora executor hardcodes the --sandbox value that it passes to thermos_runner when it execs it.  It always uses {{$(pwd)/sandbox}}
> This is a problem with the docker containerizer changes I'm working on for AURORA-633.  The executor is getting started inside the docker container.  The working directory for the container is set when the image is built by setting {{WORKDIR}} in the Dockerfile.  It defaults to /
> This means that the sandbox directory that the thermos runner creates is being created in {{/sandbox}}.  I want it to be created in {{$MESOS_SANDBOX/sandbox}}, and I don't want to override the {{WORKDIR}} the user set.
> My suggestion is to add some configuration to aurora executor to control the value for --sandbox that is passed to thermos_runner.  How about an environment variable called {{AURORA_SANDBOX}}?
