Run servers as user and not root? #7

Closed GazCBG closed 5 years ago

GazCBG commented 5 years ago

Is there away to run the servers as a user and not as root user, due to security? I know docker supports users but never seem to work for me.

You have to add the user that should be allowed to run docker to the "docker" group. See here

GazCBG commented 5 years ago

I looked at that on the docker site and the docker user/group from what I read has the similar privileges as root. Please corrent me if I have read this wrong.

There is no other way afaik.You can't really run docker without root

GazCBG commented 5 years ago

I know docker needs root but is there no way to run the container as a user without root or similar privileges?

grimsi commented 5 years ago

I checked to docker docs and did not find a way, but feel free to look it up yourself maybe you have more luck
