Hi. I want use root user in docker container like such as su or sudo.
But, I can not access this root user in my container.
If I use centos or ubuntu base image, (or only use library base), how to prepare setting for access root user?
please a little hints. thank you.
You’re root by default in most of the library images, e.g.:
$ docker run -ti ubuntu whoami root
Usually in the image build you install stuff as this user (so you don’t need sudo) and then drop down to a less privileged user for the actual runtime.
sudo
