⁠Non-root user and volume permissions

A dev user is created to perform non-root operations. The dev user does not have password and is sudoer.

To change the dev user UID / GID in Dockerfiles using this base image, use the change-dev-id command.

RUN change-dev-id <NEWUID> [<NEWGID>]

If NEWGID is not specified, it will have the same value than NEWUID.

This command is useful to set the same permissions on files shared via a volume with the user on the host machine.
