Is there any plan to run container as non root user?

Yes, but it hasn't been a priority.

If you are willing to help, he first step would be to upgrade the s6 overlay to v3, which does allow running as non-root.

Once that is done, switching to non-root would be a next step.

@saghul is it gonna be a priority this year?

[saghul]

I don't have any indication to believe it will be. As I mentioned earlier (#1447 (comment)) migrating to S6 v3 is a pre-requisite to that.

@saghul I have successfully migrated docker-jitsi-meet's base image to the latest version of s6-overlay (v3.1.5.0). After a few days of refactoring some of the cont-init and services.d and of course, some changes in Dockerfiles, seems like all the services are now running error-free with the new base.
I am going to do a few more tests during the week just to be sure before moving to add support for non-root users.
I will make sure to create a PR after it's ready, but meanwhile don't hesitate to let me know if there are any specific tests I need to perform.

This is awesome, thank you!

@saghul I made the PR just now: #1584
Looking forward to getting some feedback.
