Description

Our containers require root privilege, and thus do not work on OpenShift out of the box. This can be worked around by allowing OpenShift to allow root containers (see https://serverfault.com/a/920539):

oc adm policy add-scc-to-user anyuid -z default

We should investigate what options we have here for getting our charts working on OpenShift. At the very least, we should document this issue for OpenShift users.
