Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm running Open-WebUI on Unraid, which when using Docker, the best practice is to use User 99 and Group 100 (nobody) for filesystem access. Open-WebUI sets these values to root:

7228b39064/Dockerfile (L19-L21)

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow the user to pass UID/GID into the container
Give instructions to build the image (and changing the Dockerfile) to change the user permissions
Build and push an Unraid-specific image (least viable option, imho)

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've been trying to build the image on my own, however I cannot find the right way to build it (as docker build -t open-webui:ollama . doesn't seem to work right.)

Additional context
This could be more viable as a synced fork, which I could look into.
