Kasm Workspaces - How to Run Workspaces as Root

In this quick tutorial, I’ll show you two methods to run a Kasm Workspace as root. While running containers as root is generally not recommended due to security risks, there are scenarios where you might need this functionality. Learn how to configure root access safely and effectively. What you'll learn in this video: 1. How to run the entire container as root using Docker Run Config Override. 2. How to enable root privileges for the default user using sudo with Docker Exec Config. Both methods are demonstrated step-by-step, with explanations of their implications and best practices for maintaining control and security. Pro Tip: The second method, configuring sudo privileges for the default user, is a safer option as it allows selective use of root access.
