Run docker image as a given user (uid/gid)

Request details

is there a way to run the docker as a specific user (with given uid/gid) instead of the hard coded 999:999 ?

one of the common practices is to pass in as PUID and PGID environment variable

Thanks

Not really, those two are hardcoded in Docker image file:

• reposilite/Dockerfile

  Line 38 in 864d2d0

  adduser --system -uid 999 --ingroup reposilite --shell /bin/sh reposilite

As far as I remember quite a lot of popular projects use this 999:999 combination, why would you want to change that?

I've used recommended by you variable names - PUID & PGID. The script will create user & group at the start of the container.
