File ownership

[rgaiacs]

If user is running Docker rootless, this is how user ID is mapped

flowchart TB
    subgraph container[rootless container]
    container-root[root UID=0]
    container-pgadmin4[pgadmin4 UID=5050]
    end

    subgraph host
    host-root[root UID=0]
    alice[alice UID=1002]
    bob[bob UID=1003]
    host-pgadmin4[pgadmin4 UID=105050]
    end

    bob-->container-root
    host-pgadmin4-->container-pgadmin4

This means that user will not have problem with files being owned by root.

Hi @rgaiacs - this is an issue when running a Dockerfile with GitHub Actions, as all containers are run as root. I don't want to have two Dockerfiles, one for CI and one for local runs/compose, so am up for suggestions! 😃
