[Docker] Container permissions

[SchrodingersGat]

currently the docker / docker compose setup runs with root permissions - this means that any external files are created under the root user.

• How to force run as a different user?
• Do we need to make any changes to the Dockerfile to address this?
• What about other containers which store data (postgres / caddy)

Setting the user in the compose file is not sufficient, attempting to access file //.gitconfig fails – I did not investigate any further.

Caddy will be needing at least capabilities NET_BIND_SERVICE in order to bind to the privileged ports 80 and 443, at least for older docker versions
