i think docker always runs things as root. that's why there's podman, lxc and others
The easiest #bitcoin node setup I've tried so far is:
* Debian 12 w/XFCE desktop gui
* Umbrel
Debian installer is good. Simple enough for almost anyone.
Only other task is to get Umbrel installed... in just TWO SIMPLE COMMANDS!
* `apt install curl`
* `curl -L https://umbrel.sh | bash`
BUT THERE'S A "BUT"!!
It's only this simple if I log in as `root`. The user that the setup creates doesn't have `sudo` access. Obv I can add the user to sudoers, but now we're getting deeper into linux and losing the total noob simplicity.
I'm not a linux security expert. At all.
Is it a "Nope, unacceptable!" to install and run the Umbrel docker containers as `root`?
