mangelov95 opened a new issue #71: Change default user in the Docker image from root to couchdb
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-docker/issues/71
 
 
   <!--- Provide a general summary of the issue in the Title above -->
   I would like to change the defualt running user in the couchdb image from `root` to `couchdb`. What that means is basically when I do `docker exec` into the container I log in as `couchdb` rather than root. This is mainly aimed with security concerns in mind - I don't wont everybody who can log into the container to be root.
   
   ## Expected Behavior
   <!--- If you're describing a bug, tell us what should happen -->
   <!--- If you're suggesting a change/improvement, tell us how it should work -->
   Be able to log in as user couchdb.
   
   ## Current Behavior
   <!--- If describing a bug, tell us what happens instead of the expected behavior -->
   <!--- If suggesting a change/improvement, explain the difference from current behavior -->
   
   I tried adding `USER couchdb` before the `ENTRYPOINT` in the Dockerfile, however it seems that root access is needed for `docker-entrypoint.sh`, so it seems I can't do that on the Dockerfile side.

   <!--- or ideas how to implement the addition or change -->
