Is there a way to execute the dotfile installation command (default: ./install.sh) as root? (more info #589 about the installation command).

Currently I'm setting the remoteUser as root for doing such thing, but I'm wondering if this can be done from the command line. Based on the arguments present in the devcontainer up --help. this is not possible.

If the container allows for sudo without password, the install.sh could use that.
