I discovered the minergate-cli (cryptocurrency miner) running in one of my tmpnb containers (based on jupyter/docker-stacks datascience-notebook), fully eating all the 16 cores on server. With the recipe in "Quick start" session of README.md it is possible to install and run arbitrary software as root in the container. It is very dangerous, especially if running containers several days...
This can be cured by adding the option --container-user=jovyan to orchestrate.py in the sample command in section "Quick start" as suggested in issue #266. That is the purpose of this PR.
