@kowh-ai I'm just testing the README's "Create an extension" section and it's now failing with a permission error. I can get past it with a change to the command like: This has the benefit of creating the files as the correct UID from outside the container, so these last two paragraphs can be removed from the section:
But maybe that command is getting long to type in? We could consider putting the "create an extension" command into a script in this repo, what do you think? |

This is necessary to run tests on the new CKAN containers (as of ckan/ckan-docker#172) and apparently also to use the `actions/checkout` action (see actions/checkout#956 (comment)).

Fixes: this issue
To improve the security of CKAN images and containers, it is advised that all files and directories related to the application be assigned to a dedicated non-root user. Moreover, running CKAN processes under a separate non-root user account strengthens system security by minimising the privileges of the running services.
To be applied along with the main ckan-docker-base update: ckan/ckan-docker-base#80
