non-root docker-container failed to start .e.g Jenkins #339
Description
Unsuccessfully try to use official Jenkins container for kitchen-test.
Digged a bit more and discovered that user is set to a non root 'jenkins'
https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker/blob/587b2856cd225bb152c4abeeaaa24934c75aa460/Dockerfile#L66
https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker/blob/587b2856cd225bb152c4abeeaaa24934c75aa460/Dockerfile#L5
The error is:
Step 3/16 : RUN yum clean all
---> Using cache
---> ef4ad2349c4
Step 4/16 : RUN yum install -y sudo openssh-server openssh-clients which curl
---> Running in bd2wr4a8139
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, ovl
ovl: Error while doing RPMdb copy-up:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/rpm/.dbenv.lock'
You need to be root to perform this command.
Tried adding in .kitchen.yml :
platforms:
- name: centos-7
driver_config:
image: jenkins
run_options: --user=root:root
Without any luck.
Any help would be appreciated.

BTW, this is not a Jenkins specific issue but for any container run not as root. Kitchen-Docker seems to have no way around this
