on postgres I can update a field easily and atomically with transactions (or there is something I don't know about?), like (postgresql 14)[0]:

   UPDATE users SET profile = profile || '{"lastname":"Washington"}' WHERE profile->>'name' = 'George Washington';

i have the same sentiment, and for me systemd was getting so slow and hard to tshoot (the tools to analyze boot graphs and sequence showed service sequence breakage, some times there is no problem, sometimes sequence changed and problem happened) and i just changed for another distro without systemd and boom, startup in seconds no problem at all.

the creator even acknowledged the risk in the sample... but i do not understand why not create a more secure sample first time? since people will absolutely copy to test.

totally agree and i have this same feeling. An the fact they provide this "updates" and doubling down the same points is unnerving.

yeah, docker and permissions always a pain. you tried passing --user or through compose? [1]:

  my-service:
    image: ubuntu:latest
    user: ${MY_UID}:${MY_GID}
    volumes:
      - /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro
      - /etc/group:/etc/group:ro

yeah, github has a nice search now, the only complaint is that you need to be logged on to use, besides this is really nice.
