Founded in 2014, Netlify is a web developer platform that helps you build and deploy feature-rich websites. Netlify uses Jamstack technology for the efficient deployment of websites that are optimized to deliver a great end-user experience. The platform decouples the application backend and frontend, enabling a frictionless, streamlined way to build and deploy apps at scale.
While developing Docker images for Icinga 2, Icinga Web 2 and Icinga DB we stumbled over OpenShift which doesn’t allow images to run as root by default. One has to enable that explicitly.

So we’ve added a USER directive to our Dockerfiles to make our customers‘ compliance departments happy.
