Description

**Describe your question/**
I want to change the internal UID and GID of the container for the authentik user, from 1000:1000, to a < 1000 set.

**Relevant info**
Running with podman on alpine linux, on top of proxmox. Multiple containers are running in the same VM to better use resources, and the default alpine user has UID and GID of 1000, making running authentik a security risk.

**Logs**

**Version and Deployment (please complete the following information):**

- authentik version: 2025.4.1
- Deployment: podman via docker-compose plugin

**Additional context**
I can't find any docs about changing the internal UID:GID. Is this possible without rebuilding the container images myself?
