Implement rootless Docker container with enhanced security and preserved TFTP logging (#87)
* Implement rootless Docker container with preserved TFTP logging - Convert all processes to run as non-root user (nbxyz) for enhanced security - Add customizable PUID/PGID environment variables for volume permission management - Implement privilege dropping using gosu for secure initialization - Optimize Dockerfile with multi-stage build and better caching - Create dnsmasq wrapper script to ensure TFTP logs appear in docker logs - Configure supervisord to properly forward dnsmasq output to container stdout - Maintain full TFTP/PXE boot debugging functionality for users Security improvements: - All application processes (nginx, webapp, dnsmasq) run as nbxyz user - Only supervisord initialization runs as root, then drops privileges - Proper permission management for all service directories - Configurable user/group IDs via PUID/PGID environment variables Performance optimizations: - Multi-stage Docker build reduces final image size - Better layer caching for faster rebuilds - Optimized package installation and cleanup 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]> * Update Dockerfile Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]> * Update root/init.sh Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

## User / Group Identifiers
129+
130+
When using volumes (`-v` flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`.
131+
132+
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
133+
134+
In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id your_user` as below:
135+
136+
```bash
137+
id your_user
138+
```
139+
140+
Example output:
141+
```bash
142+
uid=1000(your_user) gid=1000(your_user) groups=1000(your_user)
143+
```

## DHCP Configurations
125146

126147
The netboot.xyz Docker image requires the usage of a DHCP server in order to function properly. If you have an existing DHCP server, usually you will need to make some small adjustments to make your DHCP server forward requests to the netboot.xyz container. The main settings in your DHCP or router that you will typically need to set are:
