    -e PUID=0 \

Notes

User ID (PUID) and Group ID (PGID) can be found by issuing the following command for the user you want to run the container as:-

id <username>

You cannot specify the port the docker container uses, it requires full access to the hosts nic and thus the -p flag is not used.

If you appreciate my work, then please consider buying me a beer :D
