Hi, I would like to understand how start docker under Eclipse_CDT.

I know that I can mount volumes under the project settings (Project -> Properties -> Settings -> Container Settings). But with which "user" is the docker container started (e.g. by a build process or by running a script on Build Targets)?

When I start a container in the terminal it looks something like this:

docker run -it --user $UID:$GID <IMAGE_NAME> bash

If no user is specified on "docker run", "root" is chosen.

How can I pass a "user" (e.g. current host user) to the docker container under Eclipse_CDT?

Thanks a lot
