Subject: [PATCH 12/13] img/app: add application user
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2025 22:34:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251126213407.1773744-12-hi@alyssa.is> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251126213407.1773744-1-hi@alyssa.is>
We should stop running applications as root, and for applications
like Firefox, we'll need a writable home directory.
