Hi,

Is there anyway to get rid of this?

Is the image running as root initially?

That's worrying.

# This image cannot be run with the --user flag
if [ "$(id -u)" -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "ERROR: This image should not be run with the --user Docker flag. Exiting..."
    exit 1
fi

Yes, it runs as root initially in order to set timezone, update file permissions, and set niceness. Afterwards, it will drop privileges and run as the user defined by PUID and PGID, which by default is 1000:1000.

Kind of like how the linuxserver images are set up, and I know of some others that do it this way too.
