Local network privacy dialogue not triggered for bash script inside agent
Hi, I'm trying to set up automated backups on my machine using a combination of restic, a wrapper script, and a launchd agent, but I think I'm hitting a problem with the local network privacy dialogue. Basically, the script sets up the environment variables for Restic, which then tries to backup to a local REST server. Problem is, when trying to do that, I get the following error: Fatal: unable to open config file: Head "https://X:X@X.X.X.network:8000/X/X.X.X.network/config": dial tcp 192.168.50.229:8000: connect: no route to host So it resolves DNS just fine, but can't connect to the local server. I tried a couple of things, tools such as ping work and can ping the local server, but nothing I do fixes the issue with restic itself. After reading about the network privacy feature, which I loved by the way, I believe it's the culprit here. This is the .plist file I'm using, which lives in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.james.local-backup.plist: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.james.local-backup</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/Users/james/.local/bin/replicator</string> <string>--backup</string> <string>rest:https://X.X.X.network:8000/X/X.X.X.network</string> </array> <key>EnvironmentVariables</key> <dict> <key>PATH</key> <string>/opt/homebrew/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin</string> <key>XDG_CONFIG_HOME</key> <string>/Users/james/.config</string> </dict> <key>StartCalendarInterval</key> <dict> <key>Hour</key> <integer>13</integer> <key>Minute</key> <integer>0</integer> </dict> <key>StandardErrorPath</key> <string>/tmp/com.user.backup.err</string> <key>StandardOutPath</key> <string>/tmp/com.user.backup.out</string> <key>ProcessType</key> <string>Background</string> </dict> </plist> The local network dialogue never shows up, so I can't give the wrapper script or restic access to the local network, which I assume is why it can't connect to the local server. Any way I can solve this? I could build a proper Swift CLI that calls restic, but I assume I'd hit the same issue. Plus, it seems overkill for my needs.
