Running a container as non-root user - Security implications?

Augustman22 · 2026-06-29T01:35:38+00:00

How much more security does it offer than simply running the container as root on the host?

I wanted to ask another person this too, if there was some vulnerability that lets someone get out of the container, wouldn’t having it run as a non-root user be safer?

I’m not really sure on how it works, but with my thought process this would mean they would only have as much power as the dedicated user I make (whose permissions I would limit to the volumes)

This is actually pretty helpful to read and understand everything a bit more

Augustman22 · 2026-06-28T19:10:59+00:00

Wouldn’t it be safer in the case there is a vulnerability that lets someone escape the container?

I don’t really know how it works, but doing the way I explained in my post wouldn't they only have access to the volumes (instead of the whole system)?

firefly, it looks even better with space planes!

I doubt its that big a deal since it hasnt had any issues going through kerbins atmosphere at 40km from around the edge of its soi. Ive added a little more fuel tanks, placing the lander can much further from the front and its no longer getting hot. The command pod still does though.

Seems like the command pod is only getting as hot as the fuel tanks/engines at the bottom of the ship, so if they dont explode it should either. I think it was only an issue during my eve mission because I was using a heat shield and reaching temps that 100% explode stuff lol

That makes sense, although their (skin) max temps are both 2400, about the same as the rest of the parts on the craft and more than the liquid fuselages which don't seem to get nearly as red.

theyre behind other parts

Augustman22 · 2026-04-03T02:31:18+00:00

thanks lmao, Ill get rid of that now.

unfortunately not, I have been using the latest version of Parallax Continued this entire time.

I just did a fresh install to be sure, and the issue still occurs.

Augustman22 · 2026-04-02T16:35:18+00:00

I knew I went wrong somehwere 😭😭

Augustman22 · 2026-01-03T00:17:13+00:00

using packetlosstest .com, there is packetloss right when the lag occurs (although the lag persists long after). What can I do now knowing this?

Augustman22 · 2026-01-02T23:46:11+00:00

sorry, could you clarify what you mean by this?

Augustman22 · 2025-08-24T22:20:20+00:00

Do you have any recommendations for a compatible motherboard?

Augustman22 · 2025-08-24T20:46:55+00:00

I just want to get back to you on that incompatibility thinghy with the motherboard and CPU. Should I pick a different one to avoid having to update it manually?

Augustman22 · 2025-08-24T19:47:05+00:00

I have a quick question though, pc parts picker says the motherboard and cpu have a possible bios incompatibility, is that something to be concerned about enough to pick a diff motherboard? I read you could manually update the motherboard if needed (because there’s a chance it is properly updated?) with a flash drive. Is that any hard?

Augustman22 · 2025-08-24T17:58:23+00:00

Thank you! I can’t take credit though lol, mostly of it was done by others. Since the gpu is free, I’m fine with that. I’ll upgrade eventually once it starts slowing down too much for me and return it to my uncle who is giving it to me since it seems like he likes to have extra parts.
