What's missing?

I had a healthcheck issue that was resulting in this error: ERROR reading servers from file: decoding servers: invalid character '\x00' in string literal

I noticed my servers/json file had switched permissions from my user, to root. This was a problem as my gluetun runs as m ubuntu user, not root.

I would add this error to the list of potential problems (specifying linux users perhaps), and propose fixing permissions and restarting the container.

Gluetun needs to run as root to be able to change the firewall, create the vpn tunnel etc. How are you running it without root? 🤔
