How to Set Password for a User in a Docker Container using useradd Command

When building a Docker container, it's essential to include a specific user and set a password for that user. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Create a user in the Dockerfile using the useradd command: RUN useradd -m [username]
  2. Set the password for the user using the echo and chpasswd commands:
    RUN echo '[username]:[password]' | chpasswd
