Possible duplicate of #148, @domesticmouse can you please check with running docker as root?

This is on macOS with Docker desktop.

Could you please make the UID & GID overrideable via environment variables?

When I bind mount my working directory (i.e. $pwd) to /home/workspace inside the container, the uid and gid of /home/workspace is the same with those of $pwd in my host.

However, both uid and gid of /home/workspace inside the container is expected to be 1000 (specified in Dockerfile).

I remove the -v option in docker run, and it works.
