Running a docker container as a non-root user
# By default, Docker containers run as the root user. This is bad because:
# 1) You're more likely to modify up settings that you shouldn't be
# 2) If an attacker gets access to your container - well, that's bad if they're root.
# Here's how you can run change a Docker container to run as a non-root user
## CREATE APP USER ##
# Create the home directory for the new app user.
RUN mkdir -p /home/app
