Don&#x27;t you need root access to even start the container? I think that&#x27;s there is a disconnect here. There is a difference between running a container as root and the process w&#x2F;in the container running as root.<p>Sure, you don&#x27;t need to have the process running as root in the container, but you need to have root-equivalent access to start the container. For a (large) subset of use-cases, this just isn&#x27;t an option.<p>I should be able to allow any given user of a system the ability to start a docker container and be confident that they won&#x27;t be able to break the host system. Until this is the case, you don&#x27;t have security in Docker.
