Description
Most of the time, developers install and run packages as non-root users. Currently, commands inside the analysis container run as root which is easy to set up but not as realistic. It would be ideal to have things running as a non-root user, but with (passwordless) sudo access (see #393)

Start by reading the analysis-container setup and the discussion in issue #393 about passwordless sudo. Identify where the container user and privileges are configured, then verify that analysis commands run as a non-root user while retaining the requested sudo access.
