# Use the image as a non-root user

Running as a non-root user limits interaction with the Docker Daemon.
|
|
If you want to stop and restart containers and services during backup, and the host's Docker daemon is running as root, you will also need to run this tool as root.
|
|
|
|
By default, this image executes backups using the `root` user.
|
|
In case you prefer to use a different user, you can use Docker's [`user`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#user) option, passing the user and group id:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker run --rm \
|
|
-v data:/backup/data \
|
|
--env AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<xxx>" \
|
|
--env AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<xxx>" \
|
|
--env AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME="<xxx>" \
|
|
--entrypoint backup \
|
|
--user 1000:1000 \
|
|
offen/docker-volume-backup:v2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or in a compose file:
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
services:
|
|
backup:
|
|
image: offen/docker-volume-backup:v2
|
|
user: 1000:1000
|
|
# further configuration omitted ...
|
|
```
