Run as root

[CrazySerGo]

Dear Team, Could you avoid running node with root account, please? It's a bad practice to use root + many issues may be missed as root account has highest privileges. If you plan to catch such issues in production or run production node also with root, you can close this incident.

As example I run it as non root user and what I have:

• lack of permissions because it wants to do something in /root folder and modify system files in /etc
• it ask to run it as non-root user at the end...
