sshtunnel: explicitly set $HOME to /root in init script

[supersonic-copycat]

📦 Package Details

Maintainer: @nunojpg

Description

When dropbear is used as ssh client, it looks for known_hosts at $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts. If $HOME is not set, known_hosts cannot be found and if StrictHostKeyChecking is enabled, connection fails. This happened before #5559
I created new issue to track (#30050)

⚠️ STYLISTIC WARNINGS & SUGGESTIONS

Package Release Audit:

• ⚠️ Content changed in these packages, but without a PKG_RELEASE or version bump:

  • net/sshtunnel

  Increment PKG_RELEASE by 1 (or bump PKG_VERSION/PKG_SOURCE_DATE and reset PKG_RELEASE to 1) so users receive the update.

Do not increment release for minor changes. Cosmetic edits (e.g., typos in comments, copyright updates, formatting/whitespace), changing the package maintainer (PKG_MAINTAINER), or updating source download info (PKG_SOURCE_URL / PKG_HASH) do not require incrementing PKG_RELEASE.

Tip

Do not close this pull request to make corrections. Instead, modify your existing commits (e.g. git commit --amend) and update the branch using git push --force-with-lease --force-if-includes. The checks will re-run automatically.

Reviewed 1 new commit. The change itself is sound (setting HOME=/root so dropbear's ssh client can find known_hosts). One inline indentation nit noted. Commit message/formality issues (missing sshtunnel: subject prefix, Signed-off-by, real author name/email) are already covered by the openwrt bot's formality check.

Reviewed 1 new commit (ef90c28). It applies the tab-indentation fix from the previous round and changes nothing else — the functional diff is still the single procd_set_param env HOME="/root" line, which is a correct fix for dbclient not finding ~/.ssh/known_hosts under procd (procd does not set HOME, and the service runs as root, whose home is /root).

One patch-hygiene nit inline. The remaining commit-metadata items (subject prefix, author name/e-mail, Signed-off-by) and the PKG_RELEASE bump are already reported by the formality bot, so I am not repeating them here. Nothing found that blocks a merge on the code itself.

nit: the indentation is fixed now, thanks. Since ef90c28 only re-indents the line that b83e718 added, the two commits are an introduce-then-fix pair — please squash them into a single commit (git rebase -i, then git push --force-with-lease --force-if-includes). That also lets you give the resulting commit a proper subject; Update net/sshtunnel/files/sshtunnel.init is the GitHub web-editor default and does not describe the change.

Hi @supersonic-copycat, are you able to fix squash your commits and add the proper commit message or at least a Signed-off-by line with real e-mail address?
