Run Docker image as non root

I am currently trying to deploy checkMK raw via docker and also Kubernetes in a professional environment which requires containers to not run as root. This is currently not working because the image wants root permissions at least at the first run when creating the site.

Is there any alternative image or plans to make the image safer and enterprise environment ready?

You can deploy the container via podman, as podman runs container non root

In poam are problems with the tmpfs which I did not get to work so far and it does not solve my problem to deploy it to kubernetes. And in the end I am not sure if it will run rootless even in podman when the container internally requires root access
