The image of An Otter Wiki runs as root user (with uid=0) and comes bundled with nginx that listens on port 80. The lighter image variant is the `-slim` image: It's based on alpine, has no nginx bundled and an uWSGI server is running as unprivileged `www-data` user (with uid=33). uWSGI serves both An Otter Wiki and the static files and listens on port 8080.

> To ensure your application data directory is accessible when using the `-slim` image, make sure user ID 33 and group ID 33 have appropriate permissions. You can use the full image to initially set up this directory, then switch to the `-slim` variant.
