Hello,
I am running 1.2.0 of helm chart and I want to understand the implication of uid=0 and gid=0. What does it mean? Will the user container have root permissions? What is the best default?
Thanks
uid=0 means the container will be started as root. In general it’s best to run unprivileged containers, see e.g. Bitnami Engineering: Why non-root containers are important for security , but it may be needed for some configurations. The Jupyter Docker-stacks image let you rename a user or change their UID from the default at runtime when started as root:
