Switching out the user to not use root #339

Not running the container as root user.

yosifkit commented 1 year ago

Initially running as root is done for ease of use to fix permissions and then the process is dropped down to the redis user:

https://github.com/docker-library/redis/blob/19f345b2056588c009396bcfc22ba9241a669491/docker-entrypoint.sh#L10-L14

Users of the image are welcome to use --user if they know that permissions are already correct for their provided data directory.

Got it. Thank you for letting me know @yosifkit :)
