From c62cf4e425b730a074029dfb964deddb7a7e8ca2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Niklas Elmose Andersen Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2020 19:18:00 +0200 Subject: build.rst: Do not recommend using docker group The documentation for building VyOS currently recommends adding a non-root user to the docker group. Doing so is equivalent to making that user root and thus should at least carry a warning. --- docs/contributing/build-vyos.rst | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/contributing/build-vyos.rst b/docs/contributing/build-vyos.rst index d186f05e..63a45c21 100644 --- a/docs/contributing/build-vyos.rst +++ b/docs/contributing/build-vyos.rst @@ -29,10 +29,10 @@ Installing Docker_ and prerequisites: $ apt-get update $ apt-get install -y docker-ce -To be able to use Docker_, the current non-root user should be added to the +To be able to use Docker_ without ``sudo``, the current non-root user can be added to the ``docker`` group by calling: ``usermod -aG docker yourusername`` -.. note:: It is recommended to use that non-root user for the remaining steps. +.. note:: Doing so grants privileges equivalent to the ``root`` user!
