Hi @raduiliescu the interesting thing is that Firecracker works fine without jailer.

Anyway, if it's nothing obvious, I won't worry about it too much, because my environment isn't the cleanest test environment and it's not a big deal to me now, but thanks for the reply!

@zicklag We have an issue on our ops board related to your question (#1190) . Is there a specific use-case in which you cannot use the jailer as root or do you have any concerns regarding running the jailer as root?
Although Firecracker can be run without the jailer, we don't recommend it for production environments.

I just wanted to make sure that in the future I would be able to run firecracker without root, for development ( non production ) purposes.

Because the docs said that firecracker would eventually only run with jailer, and I couldn't get jailer to run without root, I just wanted to make sure that there would continue to be some way in which to run firecracker without root for development. This could be either firecracker running fine in dev without jailer, or having jailer run fine without root, as long as there will be a way to run firecracker dev without root.

I don't intend to run firecracker without jailer in production or without root, so the production case is fine for me.

Cool, thanks for the heads-up. :)
