I just start [GitHub - YunoHost-Apps/ci\_ynh: Experimental YunoHost package check as a YunoHost app using Django...](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/ci_ynh) as a experiment… The idea is to run something like the package check via YunoHost App. So every developer can easy maintain a own “CI Server” for his own projects, just by install “ci\_ynh” 😉 I plan to use these tools: - Django admin as “WebGUI” (managing the list of which packages to check, see results etc) - [Huey](https://github.com/coleifer/huey) task queue that will run the package checks The idea is to install/backup/deinstall/restore one package and check if it’s available. Collect the output and store everything in the database. But I will probably only have time for a first prototype.

I added a first source code dump 😉 The question is: how to execute something like: “install package XY” ? Currently i call something like: `sudo yunohost app install ...` via subprocess, here: > But that may not be a really good idea. At least, because of using `sudo`… ---

It’s a little bit active (After i start Huey worker manually): ![grafik](https://forum.yunohost.org/uploads/default/original/2X/4/42ea42c27ed4fe5500bf29ce46c05cb9e84e9af5.png) ![grafik](https://forum.yunohost.org/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6c9727529ab2dfea80b83dcf39cdbc5493182652.png) ![grafik](https://forum.yunohost.org/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1b1f38522bf0916bad755fa8d0ade6497f391f3f.png) (Looks ugly because of not existing translations) ---

> [@jedie](#): > > The question is: how to execute something like: “install package XY” ? > Currently i call something like: `sudo yunohost app install ...` via subprocess I am trying this approach right now: I create a second user, add him to “sudo” group and start Huey worked as these user. See: [WIP: Use different user for Huey worker and add it to sudoes · YunoHost-Apps/ci\_ynh@4d36254 · GitHub](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/ci_ynh/commit/4d36254bd4c75ede92a1cfb3c77eb8e80eb2a75e) But failed with: ![grafik](https://forum.yunohost.org/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d3273ccdc3e695455c8fc472ba9a672b321c9962.png) Any ideas? e.g.: Can i talk to a API endpoint to install/deinstall packages?!? ---

I try to run Huey task query as root, see: [Run Huey as root · YunoHost-Apps/ci\_ynh@afbdcbc · GitHub](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/ci_ynh/commit/afbdcbcf0f135b1048ae21f7f985b0a25811ca2e) Anybody with a better idea? ---

What’s about to create a user without need to enter the sudo password?!? Or create a root service that handle the installation? Any idea? ---

…but maybe it’s generally a bad idea to install the package directly and not using something like LXC. Because if the installation is faulty then we may stick with a unknown state and a de install may not cleanup everything.
