what are best practices of running Logicaldoc in Production

[djangoxl]

Dear community,

I managed to install Logicaldoc CE 8.6.1. onto Freebsd 13. I am running it with java 11 from openjdk and mariadb 10.5. I have noticed a few things re Logicaldoc in production adn hope someone could clarify:

1. the installer expects to be run as root. As a consequence, logicaldoc now runs as root. They have told me this is dangerous, so could I change the application to run through a unprivileged user? How?
2. some other users from a different Enterprise ready DMS said, it is not wise to put tomcat in production like that but it would be beneficial in various ways to use apache or nginx as a reverse proxy for logicaldoc? If that is the case here too, what are the steps I should take to put apache/nginx in front of logicaldoc?
3. does someone have a init script for logicaldoc which can be used on FreeBSD?

Thanks in advanced,

Django
