Description

I ended up giving up on running on a non-1000 UID and that allowed me to work around the ssh key issue.

IMO it'd be both cleaner for host filesystem mapping and also enhanced security if UID parameter was supported in the docker version.

Research direction

Start by examining how the Docker version configures the container user and handles SSH keys. Define how a UID parameter should affect host filesystem mapping and verify that running with a non-1000 UID works without breaking SSH key access.
