Easy way to run as different user (non-root).

[bukowa]

Hello! Thanks for the project, i wonder what's the best way to run the container as a different user; for ex. while you already have the directories populated with files with custom gid/uid. Should the image respect that out-of-the box?

https://github.com/BytemarkHosting/docker-webdav/blob/master/2.4/docker-entrypoint.sh#L104
How could we easly swap port 80 ?

Maybe chown -R www-data:www-data "/var/lib/dav" shoul not be run if the directory already exists?

I agree with @bukowa.
My use case is to use bytemark/webdav as DAV server providing access to the input folder of my document management system.
Thus, the DMS server needs write access to all uploaded documents. So it would be great to either set the dav servers UID to the UID owning the mounted data folder or make it configurable for better integration as helper service to other applications.

@qroac here is how i handled it, note: it's probably not secure
