Proposed changes
Adds a new how-to guide for deploying F5 NGINX Instance Manager (NIM) in a rootless Docker Compose environment, where all container processes run as the nms non-root user.
What changed and why:
The existing Docker deployment section covers the standard image-based Docker Compose flow. This PR adds a companion guide for teams with security hardening requirements—such as CIS benchmarks or internal least-privilege policies—that prevent running containers as root. The guide also documents the runtime configuration injection pattern used by this deployment, which allows NIM settings to be changed via environment variables and a stack restart, without rebuilding the Docker image. This is distinct from the standard deployment and warrants its own topic.
How the changes were made:
Out of scope / follow-up considerations:
