Is this a new feature request?

Wanted change

Add an environment variable to allow users to run code-server as root.

Reason for change

I have a weird setup that requires to run code-server as root (to access a volume).
If I change the user from abc to root in /etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/svc-code-server/run, I can access the files on the volume fine.
Could you add an environment variable to help resolve this issue?

This isn't something we're going to add. We advise against users ever using root with our containers. I would suggest fixing your volume permissions.

Sorry for late response.
It's not an issue with volume permissions, ratter, it's an issue with contents of that volume.
I'm running code-server in Termux, and I'm passing the home directory as a volume to code-server, so I can edit easily and test things faster than pushing my change every time.
Since most of my Docker containers do not support running as a specific PUID and PGID, they are running as root and I cannot edit them without running the code-server as the root user.
Thank you for your response. It appears that I will need to use a hacky way to solve it.
