Issue ticket number and link

No linked issue.

The dashboard container requires root privileges for its supervisor, nginx ports, runtime files, and certificate setup. This adds a rootless image variant for OpenShift and similar constrained environments. It runs on port 8080, supports an arbitrary UID with GID 0, keeps nginx runtime state under /tmp, and initializes the dashboard configuration before nginx starts.

Every generated image tag receives a matching -rootless tag. The local build script supports the same variant with ROOTLESS=1.

  • Documentation is not needed for this change (explain why)

The container-specific runtime and image-tag usage are documented in docker/README.md in this PR. No change to the separate NetBird documentation site is required.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a rootless Alpine Nginx image for the dashboard. It updates local builds, Docker context handling, multi-platform publication, startup behavior, Nginx paths, and Docker documentation.

Changes

Rootless dashboard image

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rootless runtime image
docker/Dockerfile.rootless, docker/rootless.conf, docker/init_react_envs.sh
Adds an Alpine-based image that runs Nginx as 10001:0 on port 8080. It configures writable temporary paths and supports command execution without an Nginx reload.
Rootless build variant
build.sh, .dockerignore
Adds ROOTLESS=1 handling, dynamic ports, rootless tags, output names, selected Dockerfiles, and a repository-level Docker context ignore list.
Rootless image publication
.github/workflows/build_and_push.yml
Builds and pushes multi-platform rootless images with -rootless tags and reports the generated tags.
Rootless image documentation
docker/README.md
Documents rootless tags, OpenShift execution, port 8080, image limitations, and certificate variables.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1b8f7

The rootless image variant is added, but the publishing workflow may fail its shell linting because its summary-file path is unquoted. Quote the redirection before merge.

Poem

A rabbit packs the image light,
With port eight-zero-eight in sight.
The Nginx paths now safely grow,
Rootless tags through pipelines flow.
OpenShift hops where users roam.

Quote the summary-file path.

Line 158 adds an unquoted $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY redirection. actionlint reports SC2086 for this run block. Quote every summary-file redirection, or redirect the grouped commands once.

Proposed fix
-          echo '### Pushed tags' >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
-          echo '${{ steps.meta.outputs.tags }}' >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
-          echo '${{ steps.meta_rootless.outputs.tags }}' >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
+          {
+            echo '### Pushed tags'

+            echo '${{ steps.meta_rootless.outputs.tags }}'
