Running Docker containers as a non-root user, also known as rootless mode, is a significant step towards enhancing the security of your containerized applications. This approach mitigates potential vulnerabilities by ensuring that neither the Docker daemon nor the containers have root privileges. This article will guide you through the process of setting up and securing…
