Root Login to Container about docker-clamav HOT 4 CLOSED

You may consider forking this repo change the stuff you need directly in the Dockerfiles

from docker-clamav.

Docker is not expected to allow interactive root acceess. As you may need the stuff from a packagemanager frquently you should suggest to add the stuff within the Dockerfile - or you can fork directly from the image and add the stuff you need to your Dockerfile.

Thank you very much for that information.

Interestingly enough, when I run the container in a local Docker Desktop and connect to it with docker exec -u 0 /bin/bash the login happens as root and I can do a regular Apt-Get update.
When I try to login into the container running inside of an Azure Container Instance, I do not have that permission anymore.

I guess I need to investigate way more time into preparing the image before uploading it to the Cloud, instead of fixing the already running image :)

Yes probably. Most running frameworks like Azure and Kubernetes restrict the access within the containers for security reasons.
