docker-compose running as root

I’m trying out docker-compose and it’s running as root, which gives me an error.

I.e.

$ echo "https://example.com" | docker-compose exec -T archivebox archivebox add
[i] [2020-08-11 20:00:18] ArchiveBox v0.4.11: archivebox add < /dev/stdin
    > /data

[!] ArchiveBox should never be run as root!
    For more information, see the security overview documentation:
        https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/wiki/Security-Overview#do-not-run-as-root

Adding ALLOW_ROOT=True to my docker-compose.yml didn’t do anything.

Also, a few nitpicky doc things on https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/wiki/Docker:

• it still says exec -T archivebox /bin/archive - should that last bit be archivebox add ?
• It says http://127.0.0.1:8080 - should be 8000

Try running echo "https://example.com" | docker-compose run -T archivebox add Also, check your docker-compose.yml file, and make sure you are using a locally built image or make sure you are actually pulling the latest and not using a local version (run docker-compose pull just in case). Run: docker build -t archivebox . Change (docker-compose.yml): image: archivebox And then run: echo "https://example.com" | docker-compose run -T archivebox add

The run command uses the docker-entrypoint, which takes care of adjusting the permissions for the specific user to run as. The docs definitely need some love.

Weird…https works for me. That is a different issue tho. Glad it worked!
