Thank you for the reply Sebastian,
I have reviewed the commit and I believe it will solve my problem.
I do have a concern though for others though, and I'll admit I am still learning kubernetes and not that familiar with golang as well. It appears that the init container in that commit is running as user id 0, root? Our organization has been contemplating implementing the Pod Security Policy (PSP-Upstream Kubernetes) or the Security Context Constraint (SCC - Openshift) MustRunAsNonRoot. Which I am assuming may end up being an impediment to that fix.
