Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Since st2 uses a lot of root files, any underlying k8s configuration that blocks running containers as root (such as openshift) prevents the container from running at all because of all the configuration that is held in the roots (/etc, /root, /opt). It is also a massive security flaw to run the containers as root as any RCE can be used on the underlying host.

Describe the solution you'd like
De-root the containers and applications. Contain it to it's own folderspace instead of using system folders for configuration.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Not really any that I can think of for not running as root.
