What changes are proposed in this PR?
docker run <image> whoami
. If it returnsroot
, then you should consider using a non-root user, by following one of the next steps:USER
command to the Dockerfile, with a non-root user as argument, for example:USER <non-root-user-name>
.Why are these changes important?
If you don't specify at least 1 USER command in the Dockerfile, the container will run as root. If a security vulnerability is exploited in the root container, an attacker could gain complete control over the host system and any other containers running on it, potentially leading to devastating consequences.
