   @tianon I'm trying to run couchdb on openshift which doesn't allow containers to start/run as root - I'm attempting to follow the examples you listed above to allow use of `--user` but I'm primarily trying to solve this by trial/error, with limited success.
   
   I've put all the chown/chmods in `if [ "$1" = '/opt/couchdb/bin/couchdb' -a "$(id -u)" = '0' ];`, per your suggestion. There's a `touch` line [here](https://github.com/apache/couchdb-docker/blob/master/2.3.1/docker-entrypoint.sh#L56) that I'm not entirely sure what to do with (move it into the Dockerfile?) that I've simply commented out for now. The current result is that I can now run this by specifying the explicit couchdb uid (--user 5984:5984) but any other user causes erlang to crash with what looks like permission errors. As of now, here's what I have: https://gist.github.com/drvan/b7bd8a2015bac91b64eabe60d90fb6a1
   
   Any guidance/direction would be incredibly helpful, and happy to submit a PR when all is said and done.
