docker: uid 2000 #463

Closed elad-eyal closed 5 years ago

elad-eyal commented 5 years ago

We use frab with cloudfoundry and we mount a CIFS drive for the permsistent mount. It seems that only uid 2000 can have access to the CIFS drive. I've seen uid 2000 as being a popular uid for applications. examples

So I have two proposals

(1) change the uid and gid in the dockerfile to 2000 instead of 1000 (2) change the uid and gid to be controllable by environment variable

Great to hear you are using frab with cloud foundry.

Switching the UID could be problematic for existing installations? Anyone out here using it already and have an opinion, @mxmo0rhuhn maybe?

Otherwise let's just wait a few days, switch to 2000 and see if there any complaints...
