"cleanup" commands cannot run if USER was set to != root in Dockerfile about habitus HOT 3 CLOSED

@chdeliens I checked the code and we run the cleanup command using a docker exec command against your build image, this means the cleanup command is run as the last user set with the USER xxx in the Dockerfile. It's up to the maintainer of the Dockerfile how to deal with it. I leave this ticket for reference and help.

If you have an elegant solution to tackle this use case, please let me know.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Some Dockerfile are like this for a reason. Wouldn't the elegant solution be to allow for providing a user for the cleanup command in the build.yml and then using that in the --user flag to docker exec?

cleanup:
  user: root
  commands:
    - rm -rf /root/.ssh
