Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH container 2/2] oci create: honor `User` from OCI image config
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2025 18:41:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251215174203.267293-3-f.schauer@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251215174203.267293-1-f.schauer@proxmox.com>
Honor a custom user and group specified for the entrypoint via the OCI
image config `User` field instead of ignoring it.
User and group name lookups, including supplementary groups, are
resolved from /etc/passwd and /etc/group in the container file system.
This behaviour matches the OCI image spec. [0]
