Description
Module
Core
Testcontainers version
1.19.8
Using the latest Testcontainers version?
Yes
Host OS
Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Host Arch
x86
Docker version

What happened?
Using the following statement:
new GenericContainer<>("...")
...
.withFileSystemBind("...", "...", BindMode.READ_WRITE)
...;
creates a root:root directory/file while executed by a normal, non-root user.
Is there any way to avoid that and to create directories/files owned by the current user ?

Research direction
Start at GenericContainer.withFileSystemBind and reproduce the READ_WRITE bind on Ubuntu 22.04.4 with Docker 26.1.4, checking how the root-owned directory or file is created. Done means establishing whether ownership can follow the current non-root user and verifying the behavior with a regression test.
