How to run opencanary as noprivileged user

[hitjackma]

Hi， It's possible to run opencanary as normal user, not root, like how nginx do run as nginx?

Hi @hitjackma,

It may be possible. The reason we default to it is because the modules such as portscan (which uses iptables) require sudo privileges. I think it is a reasonable question though. Perhaps we could do some categorising of services that are available on 'less than root' privileges.
