The Dockerfile Disaster: How a Non-Root User Broke Our Production App!

Publish Date: Mar 25

We all know running containers as root is risky. So, like a responsible DevOps engineer, I switched my Docker container to a non-root user. Everything seemed fine… until my app failed to csv export failed in our production

What went wrong? 🤔

  • The app lost write permissions to a directory.
  • The container crashed due to EACCES (permission denied) errors.
  • A small security tweak caused an unexpected production issue.

I spent hours debugging before finally solving it. Want to know the fix? 🔥
