Hi !
I noticed that kplex is running as root user in openplotter. I want to user openplotter for forwarding ais to public services as marinetraffic.com
From the kplex documentation, it is found that it is not advised to run kplex as root due to security reasons.
I has been fiddling, but not successful to get openplotter/kpled to run as <pi> user, but not successful. Maybe, the default user should be set up to be run as <your user name> as default so it will be more safe to expose openplotte to the internet ?? -
Any tips on how to change the user running openplotter from root to <your user name> for openplotter would be appreciated.
