Description
#1925 added static Docker containers that run SSH as root (and probably other things). We should configure user namespacing (and maybe static UID/GID) so that someone who manages to escape from the container does not become root on the host.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #1925 and the static Docker container configuration it introduced. Determine how user namespacing and any static UID/GID mapping should be configured, then verify that container root is not host root and that the static containers retain their required behavior.
