Description

Hi,

Thx for this template, very useful ! 🙏

Many resources suggest using an unprivileged user in container in order to prevent privilege escalation attacks(e.g. OWASP https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Docker_Security_Cheat_Sheet.html#rule-2-set-a-user or Docker docs https://docs.docker.com/build/building/best-practices/#user).

It seems it's not the case on this template with FrankenPHP and based on its doc, FrankenPHP can be used with an unprivileged user. Is it on purpose, or is it a feature that can be added to this template ?

Research direction

Start by reading the template's Docker and FrankenPHP container configuration, then compare it with FrankenPHP's documented unprivileged-user setup and the linked Docker security guidance. Done means the template runs the container without unnecessary privileges while retaining its existing functionality.
