Research direction

Start with the docker-compose configuration shown in the issue and review the linked rootless-container references. Determine the supported approach for running the wallabag services without root, including the user configuration and volume permissions. Done should mean a documented, reproducible rootless setup that starts successfully.

Description

enhancement

Theres a rootless version? Maybe a way to just start using 'user' directive in docker-compose, lsio use PUID and PGID that is not compatible but works if you want to go this route more fast.
