Run/Install Harbor as non-root user

Hi all,

We are using Harbor v2.5.0 in Docker Container on a Linux Virtual Machine. During some tests, we noticed that those Containers have to run as root users. If we were trying to start them as non-root users, we had the following issue:

[Step 4]: starting Harbor ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/docker-compose", line 6, 
in <module> File "compose/cli/main.py", line 71, in main File "compose/cli/main.py", line 124,

line 897, in open PermissionError: 
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/harbor/v2.5.0/common/config/registryctl/env' [21216] Failed to execute script docker-compose

Are there any plans to change this in the future to increase security?

Thank you in advance!
