Enable executing cordova as non-root

[ooxi]

What is required to execute cordova as non root user? I want to mount my application and execute cordova on it, but all artifacts have root permission

Thank you for raising issue. I tried a simple configuration to run the Docker image as non-root with the following configuration:

FROM beevelop/cordova

# Add a non-root user to run the container
RUN addgroup --gid 1001 bee && \
    adduser --uid 1001 --ingroup bee --home /home/bee --shell /bin/sh --disabled-password bee

# Set the user to run the container
USER bee

# Set the working directory
WORKDIR /home/bee

# running this with docker run -it bee bash
bee@1e81c3fe403f:~$ whoami
bee
bee@1e81c3fe403f:~$ cordova -v
? May Cordova anonymously report usage statistics to improve the tool over time? No

You have been opted out of telemetry. To change this, run: cordova telemetry on.

Are you able to use a custom image with the above instructions? That might resolve the wrong file permissions.
