What happened: Zammad is developed as Root User which are not allowed in private cloud for security reason.

What you expected to happen: To be able to install zammad as NONROOT user

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): NA

Anything else we need to know:
I tried to create new images from the current image and just adding USER 1000 to start as.
My dockerfile has only two lines:
FROM image-name-here
USER 1000

With this I can deploy but the pods don't come up as internally it get into lots of other issues as the user is NOT root user.

Currently gosu is used to drop root privileges and become zammad user, when containers are started. Background is, that nginx needs root user by default to start.

See railssserver for example:
https://github.com/zammad/zammad-docker-compose/blob/master/containers/zammad/docker-entrypoint.sh#L149

PR for running all containers as zammad user without gosu is in progress: zammad/zammad-docker-compose#189

Will be fixed with: #82
