this would be useful but i was never able to figure out how. :/

Basically this:
docker run -it --user $UID:$GIDPass it a user and group that have the appropriate access, and no more. You can also set this in Docker compose or whatever other abstraction you’re using.

so, in this case, the internal user is peertube with UID 999.
would i then use that UID, and the GID of the passed render device?

Passing that in basically overrides the [USER field in the Dockerfile](docker run -it --user $UID:$GID). Make sure that user/group combo has access to the render device.
