Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist-jf/issues/28

In the Dockerfile, pip is always invoked with the --user flag. This means only the root user will have the necessary dependencies available and the application will break when the container is run with a different user.

Since tubearchivist-jf has to modify the media directory, this creates an incompatibility with TubeArchivist whenever HOST_GID and/or HOST_UID environment variables are used to specify a media owner.
