The Docker container now handles data directory permissions automatically
without requiring manual user setup.
Changes:
- Added entrypoint.sh script that runs as root, fixes /data permissions,
then drops to non-root user (towerops) using su-exec
- Updated Dockerfile to install su-exec and use the entrypoint script
- Container starts as root but immediately drops privileges after fixing
permissions
The agent will now start successfully with just 'docker-compose up -d'
without users needing to run chown commands manually.
