Problem with launching sinusbot

[Speedyyy]

Hello I have a problem. When I try to launch a bot on my debian server with putty i get an error "The bot will not run as root-user.". When I try to launch it with non-root user I get a notification "Could not open /tmp/.sinusbot.lock. Is SinusBot already running?"
Please Help
./sinusbot -RunningAsRootIsEvilAndIKnowThat doesn't work too

" RunningAsRootIsEvilAndIKnowThat " should be removed..
well as root:
rm /tmp/.sinusbot.lock
and then follow the https://sinusbot.github.io/docs/installation/linux/

And next time https://forum.sinusbot.com/threads/read-me-before-you-post.115/

Is -RunningAsRootIsEvilAndIKnowThat not a valid argument anymore?

I'm trying to run Sinusbot in my busybox and I haven't been able to figure out how to run docker-containers as non-root users, so I'd really like to be able to just run it as root instead (I'm only using the bot on my private server anyways).

1. Please don't revive a (very) old thread, just create a new one
2. Just use our official sinusbot docker image ^^
After you start that, our image drops the root permissions automatically

1. Sorry for reviving the thread.

2. Does that also count for the Discord only version? I cloned the docker repository and ran "sudo docker-compose up" inside ./discord and it gave me the "The bot will not run as root-user." error.

Modifying the entrypoint.sh to add the parameter OP mentioned also didn't get rid of the error.
