[QUESTION] Does UID/GID have any impact in docker compose file

[Hooverdan96]

Question

Hi,
thanks for creating this create application! While exploring a docker deployment, I came across the (currently commented) UID/GID environment variables:

https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/b8d1d2b4b70a9778dbb3465a3fd9661d9d21661f/docs/deployment.md#deploy-with-docker

It seems, that (I am using docker run, instead of compose) the UID/GID only changes the ownership of the user-data directory, but does not seem to have any other impact. When testing the installation, the process was still running under root as well as all of the persistent files like conf.yaml and its backups are showing the root:root ownership.
