Docker local user "mid" not allowed to use apt-get. about docker-mid-server HOT 4 CLOSED

Due to security reasons the process does not run as Root.
But, if you exec into the container with root (-u=0) you'll be able to install additional components:

$ docker exec -it -u=0 065718ab2ce6 /bin/bash
root@065718ab2ce6:/# 

However, I do not recommend to change the container content after boot in production (as it's not persistent on re-creation fo the container).
Could you share your use case for NodeJs?

I was tasked to make a custom report generator. They want to feed in a report template and I was tasked to populate the data. I used Node to fill it in.
Im not sure if this is the right way to integrate it, is this method an unconventional way to use MID servers?

MID is the perfect choice to load data into ServiceNow. But in your case, it’s better to run the report generator in a separate Docker container and configure a Datasource in ServiceNow to connect to it via the MID server. (It’s bad practice to run multiple processes in Docker)

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into it as I am quite inexperienced in the best practices of Docker and MID Servers.
