Breaking change upcoming in v1.5

To maintain best security practices, we're changing the user:group on the Docker container to besu.

What this means for you:

  • If you are running Besu as a binary, there is no impact.
  • If you are running Besu as a Docker container and have a volume mount for data, ensure that the
    permissions on the directory allow other users and groups to r/w. Ideally this should be set to
    besu:besu as the owner.

Note that the besu user only exists within the container not outside it. The same user ID may match
a different user outside the image.

If you’re mounting local folders, it is best to set the user via the Docker —user argument. Use the
UID because the username may not exist inside the docker container. Ensure the directory being mounted
is owned by that user.

The 1.5 release is scheduled for early July.
