If you are using Docker, you can create a system user that can access and manage your Docker containers. You can also specify the shell and the login container for the user if you use an rc-shell.

Here are the steps to create a system user for Docker containers:

  1. Go to the System User section and click on “Add New System User“
  2. Enter a username for the user
  3. Choose whether to grant the user sudo privileges or not. If you grant sudo privileges, the user will be able to manage Docker services.

  1. If you don’t grant sudo privileges, your user will log into a jailed shell. This will allow the user to execute php and composer commands, but restrict their access to system files and services.

  1. Click on “Save System User“. This will create a user account on your server with the specified credentials.

    You can view a list of all users in the “System User” tab.

After you have created a system user, you should add SSH keys, configure SSH notifications, and harden your server before doing anything else.
