ability to configure user and group id
miracle091 opened this issue · comments
technically possible and here is the link of the official documentations
i can push a pr for this change, but first what is the best ID for user and group for use by default?
Is this trying to solve the container and host user/group id mapping issue?
that and avoid possible (future?) problems with privileges escalation
@miracle091 Okay ... I don't very mind that personally, and not sure if privileges escalation issues really exists with it, because that can be a massive issue already?
Anyway, a pull request is still welcome, please just make sure it's not too complex to be understood and used, I'll see how can I merge it. Thanks for the contribution!
about an actual issue i don't know, but for my experience is better have it already ready to use that wait for a fix or a workaround.
the implementation is something that have a default value (like 1000 or others number) and the possibility to modify it using the -e flag if someone need/want it, for most users is just a drop-in and nothing to worry about
#48 have done a pr for some minimal changes, during my tests have found that the alpine use a custom user and change it is a real pain. the solutution can be two, for what have seen:
- change build image with something else, like debian/ubuntu and derivates
- discard my idea and leave everything as it is now
