Hi, After upgrading our discourse instance, I noticed that the process sidekiq is running as a regular machine user. Being in a VM hosted on GCP, the process picks a random user. I’m not sure if this is a bug or expected. On my side is a little bit of weird behavior and potential security issues. …

Mine appears to be running as user “ubuntu” which I believe is the default user? But then so are my unicorns.

UIDs in the container doesn’t map to the same UIDs in the host. You can’t simply read the top output from the host.

Sidekiq يعمل كمستخدم
