Perissions issues

[Rahulsharma0810]

I’m using the n8n-python image with the n8n Helm chart, and encountered permission-related errors when deploying with standard non-root podSecurityContext.

    image:
      repository: naskio/n8n-python
      pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
      tag: "1.104.0"

Error Logs:

❯ k logs -f n8n-69cf8874c8-j8hf2
chown: /home/node/.n8n: Operation not permitted
chown: /home/node/.n8n: Operation not permitted
su-exec: setgroups: Operation not permitted

These errors occur when running with the default security context:

podSecurityContext:
   runAsNonRoot: false
   runAsUser: 0
   runAsGroup: 0
   fsGroup: 0

To make it work, I had to override the security context like this:

podSecurityContext:
  runAsNonRoot: true
  runAsUser: 1000
  runAsGroup: 1000
  fsGroup: 1000

While this resolves the issue, running as root is not ideal and likely not a recommended best practice for production deployments.

Is it possible to modify the image so it works properly with a non-root podSecurityContext such as:

podSecurityContext:
  runAsNonRoot: true
  runAsUser: 1000
  runAsGroup: 1000
  fsGroup: 1000

This would help align the image with Kubernetes security best practices (e.g., PSPs, OPA/Gatekeeper policies, etc.).

Thanks in advance!
