Core/Worldserver: Priority class dennied about azerothcore-wotlk HOT 12 CLOSED

hey guys,
I was recently doing some testing on ubuntu 20.04 using the bash dashboard setup and was able to get this working:

First I changed the ownership of the worldserver executable to root:

sudo chown root:root env/dist/bin/worldserver

Then set the SUID bit on the worldserver executable:

sudo chmod u+s env/dist/bin/worldserver

Now I can just run the bash dashboard command to start the worldserver as a regular user:

./acore.sh run-worldserver

Can you guys give this a try and see if it works for you as well?

Even as root, I get this message Can't set worldserver process priority class, error: Permission denied @Yehonal

from azerothcore-wotlk.

adding "privileged: true" to the docker-compose.yml under the ac-worldserver section can address this issue for docker.

You must run server with root privileges to allow process priority configuration

it's not a bug

This error occured in docker container

Don't know much about docker, but on Ubuntu I had to grant permission to the user which runs AC to reduce the nice value for it's processes:
Edit /etc/security/limits.conf and add something like this (here as example for the user "ac_user"):

ac_user               -       nice            -15

It's just my opinion:
nice it's not a priority, but rather a recommendation to the kernel.
And I don't see the point in this(high low prio) functionality on Linux, at all.

doesn't help xD

Tried Stoabrogga's solution on a non-root user, same error:

AC>Starting up Auction House Listing thread...
Can't set worldserver process priority class, error: Permission denied
Starting up anti-freeze thread (50 seconds max stuck time)...

Is this fixed?

@gengarshadowball on Docker yes, not sure if it still affects the traditional setups

If Windows is a traditional setup, then I can tell you that this is not an issue there
