Non-root user

This is an experimental feature.

You could have a server with a non-root user that will manage your resources instead of the root user.

For this to work, you need to set up the server correctly.

Requirements​

  • The non-root user needs to have the SSH key added to the server.
  • Sudos permissions for the non-root user.

Sudo permissions​

You need to add the following lines to the /etc/sudoers file:

# Allow the non-root user to run commands as root without a password
non-root-user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

This will allow the non-root user to any command as root without a password.

This is not the most secure way to set up a non-root user, but we will improve this in the future, by adding more granular permissions on binaries.
