Non-root user ​

You could have a server with a non-root user that will manage your resources instead of the root user.

For this to work, you need to set up the server correctly.

Caution

This is an experimental feature.

Requirements ​

  • The non-root user needs to have the SSH key added to the server.
  • Sudos permissions for the non-root user.

Sudo permissions ​

You need to add the following lines to the /etc/sudoers file:

bash
# Allow the your-non-root-user to run commands as root without a password
your-non-root-user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

This will allow the non-root user to any command as root without a password. Note: you need to replace "your-non-root-user" with your user.

Caution

This is not the most secure way to set up a non-root user, but we will improve this in the future, by adding more granular permissions on binaries.
