Thanks Ansgar,I did not know setpriv, I will test if it can replace su-exec on my containers.
Probably the main reason could be binary size on certain small systems/containers:
$ du -sh /usr/sbin/gosu 2.3M /usr/sbin/gosu $ du -sh /usr/bin/setpriv 52K /usr/bin/setpriv $ du -sh /usr/bin/su-exec 16K /usr/bin/su-exec Best Regards, Matteo Il 2022-01-05 12:09 Ansgar ha scritto:

Is there any reason to use su-exec instead of it? Ansgar
