Could use non-root user in docker container?

HI all, I use docker executor to run ci, but in my build I must use a non-root user to run build script.

Is there any methods to make docker container not run as root? Thanks.

I think I found the solution, you can put this at the end of your Dockerfile.

USER=other_user

Status changed to closed

Is there a way to do this without editing the Dockerfile?

@DaAwesomeP The --user argument of docker run does this: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#user

You'll likely want to use an entrypoint script to set up permissions for that user.

@jason.young Could you please remind me where I would place that flag? It's been actually a year since I configured my runner.
