--user $(id -u):$(id -g) -> maps user's user_id and group_id
-v /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro -v /etc/group:/etc/group:ro -> This is a hack since docker containers /etc/passwd and /etc/group doesn't container the user's user_id and group_id so if you don't provide this then docker container won't be able to identify the username
