NGINX No Root

• Sample scripts to highlight how easy it is to run an nginx container unprivileged

Get started

• Use the docker-default.sh script to run an nginx container in its default run state

• You will see the webpage below running at localhost

• In a separate command prompt use docker-shell.sh to login to the running container. Use the whoami command to see that you are running as root

• Close the default-docker.sh script and now run docker-no-root.sh to run the exact same container as a USER.

• The same webpage will be running at localhost

• Once again use docker-shell.sh to login to the running container. Use the whoami command to see that you are a regular user!
