When mounting volumes to pelican, I want to be able to manage the files on there using a particular user. It doesn't seem like I can set the UID or GID for the container. I also have this volume mounted over NFS, which defaults to the user I want. For these reasons, the container won't start since it can't really write or fix the permissions and it's set to uid 86 for www-data it seems like.

I would like the ability to set the UID, GID, and timezone in the image to match the host. linuxserver.io images do a really good job of this and it would be something similar.

Wings is what manages the users in the containers and you would set that in the config via

system:
  user:
    uid: 999
    gid: 995
