Description:

Document how to run the socket proxy as an unprivileged user (nobody, UID/GID 65534) under rootless Podman, in addition to the existing "docker user in a rootless environment" case where the container process still runs as root inside its namespace.

Covers the two requirements needed for this to work: mapping the host user onto the in-container user via --userns=keep-id so the mounted Podman socket is readable. Also providing a writable tmpfs /run so the entrypoint can render the HAProxy config. Includes a podman run example, a Quadlet unit, and an SELinux note.

Benefits of this PR and context:

Urges users to use a non-root user inside the container. Also suppresses the HAProxy warning regarding this issue.

How Has This Been Tested?

Good working of endpoints with a non-root user.

Description:

Document how to run the socket proxy as an unprivileged user (nobody, UID/GID 65534) under rootless Podman, in addition to the existing "docker user in a rootless environment" case where the container process still runs as root inside its namespace.

Covers the two requirements needed for this to work: mapping the host user onto the in-container user via --userns=keep-id so the mounted Podman socket is readable. Also providing a writable tmpfs /run so the entrypoint can render the HAProxy config. Includes a podman run example, a Quadlet unit, and an SELinux note.

Benefits of this PR and context:

Urges users to use a non-root user inside the container. Also suppresses the HAProxy warning regarding this issue.

How Has This Been Tested?

Good working of endpoints with a non-root user.
