Huh..we've had full root access since the beginning. (Github FI) Even across all of their releases. There's a place to drop your public key in.
Github support has been variable, but generally good for us. The switch to a VM was touchy at first, but once we gave it enough horsepower, things were fine.
In order to preserve the integrity of the appliance and ensure that it remains in a consistent state, we have these limitations in place:
- Root access is not provided.
- The admin user password is not provided.
- Installation and execution of third party software is not permitted.
- Modification of the underlying VM configuration is not permitted.
Bypassing any of these limitations will void all warranties and may put your installation in an unsupportable state.
