geoffh1977/alpine repository overview

⁠Alpine Docker Image With Non-Root Account

⁠Description

Builds a slightly modified Alpine Docker image by adding a non-user account and setting the account as the default user.

By doing this, the following issues are prevented:

• Stops the image from immediately having root level access to a docker host - The switch --user 0 would need to be added to have the container run as the root user.
• Requires that the command USER root is specifically called before modifying the image during the build process - Some builds do not require the root user for container builds to be completed.

⁠Downloading The Alpine Container
