description

I'm running viewtube using docker, i'd like to not have to run it as root to enhance security of my host system.

acceptance criterias

• [ ] the app should work when run with the user that is not uid=0

When I tried I got access errors:

This is a good suggestion. I will have to do some reading on how to do it!
