Permissions for running Docker Envoy containers as a non-root user
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Envoy Docker image should be started as ``root``, but switches when run to the ``envoy`` user
created at build time.
By default, the Envoy Docker image will start as the root user but will switch to the ``envoy``
user created at build time, in the Docker ``ENTRYPOINT``.

The user is switched in the Docker ``ENTRYPOINT``.
Alternatively, you can start the container specifying the Docker ``user``.

Changing the ``uid`` and/or ``gid`` of the ``envoy`` user
*********************************************************
In this case the container will not attempt to drop privileges, but you will still need to ensure
that the user running inside the container has any required permissions, as described below.

Changing the ``uid`` and/or ``gid`` of the ``envoy`` user inside the container
******************************************************************************

The default ``uid`` and ``gid`` for the ``envoy`` user are ``101``.
