Changes to ubuntu-22.04 package from 20.04?

[Jonathan Vanasco]

I'm having trouble GitHub Actions for our CI workflow of an OpenResty plugin.

This previously worked fine on `ubuntu-20.04`, the issue is in the new `ubuntu-22.04` environment, which is the new default for `ubuntu-latest`.

I am using the instructions from openresty.org to install the .deb package, and it installs fine.

I am running into runtime problems, because OpenResty/Nginx cannot read a .htpasswd file that is used in a test.  The tests run fine on ubuntu20.04 and the file can be read.  I can't seem to figure out the correct user/permissions for the 22.04 environment.

Does anyone have insight that may help?

After fighting with GitHub Actions for several hours, and not being able to coordinate the permissions between the 20.04 and 22.04 platforms, I found a quick workaround.

I configured the openresty/nginx .conf to `user runner;` so root drops privileges to "runner" (and not the default `nobody`), then chowned all the files to `runner`.

OpenResty was running as the default "nobody" on 22.04 and 20.04; and I could chown files to that user on setup, but something kept reverting or not actually sticking.
