@wohali: Hello, I am a bit confused by this commit/PR. Are we setting all files under /opt/couchdb as owned by the running process (couchdb)? I feel we should get binaries, etc, to be owned by root.

Can you point me in the right direction to understand why this was necessary? Thanks!

If the data and config files aren't owned by couchdb then the database won't function correctly.

Understood, but the commands in the Dockerfile and docker-entrypoint.sh are setting all files under /opt/couchdb to be owned by the couchdb user -that can't be right.

I think we should only set ownership on /opt/couchdb/data, logs, etc... Otherwise the running process has permissions to write over the binaries. Shall we fix this?
