> *instead of:*
> ❌ `docker compose exec archivebox manage createsuperuser`
> ❌ `docker exec archivebox manage createsuperuser`
> Explanation: `docker run` automatically applies the correct `archivebox` user file permissions because it goes through [`./bin/docker_entrypoint.sh`](https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/blob/dev/bin/docker_entrypoint.sh). Because `docker exec` skips the entrypoint, it will attempt to run ArchiveBox as root and fail. If you must use `exec` for some reason (e.g. if you only have access to an interactive shell provided by a container management tool), you can use `su archivebox` within the shell to change to the correct user before running any subsequent commands.

> If you must use `exec` for some reason (e.g. if you only have access to a live container shell), you can run `su archivebox` within the shell, or add the arg `--user=archivebox` after `exec`.
Do not run ArchiveBox as root for a number of reasons:
- Chrome will execute as root and fail immediately because Chrome sandboxing is pointless when the data directory is opened as root (do not set `CHROME_SANDBOX=False` just to bypass that error!)
