Added a warning message if running the Bitwarden Install script as root #195

Closed keithhubner closed 8 months ago

keithhubner commented 8 months ago

Running the install script as root causes known issues in the product. The person running the script may not realise that a dedicated user is advised in the documentation or have missed the step to create the Bitwarden user. This will also catch users who are running an update of the product as the root user, which can also cause issues.

It is worth noting that this may result in an increase of service desk tickets for users upgrading who have historically done so as root and are now concerned.
