For the record, here's the "docekrmagick" script posted there:

#!/bin/bash

### VARIABLES

DOCKER_IMAGE='acleancoder/imagemagick-full:latest'
CONTAINER_USERNAME='dummy'
CONTAINER_GROUPNAME='dummy'
HOMEDIR='/home/'$CONTAINER_USERNAME
GROUP_ID=$(id -g)
USER_ID=$(id -u)

### FUNCTIONS

create_user_cmd()
{
  echo \
    groupadd -f -g $GROUP_ID $CONTAINER_GROUPNAME '&&' \
    useradd -u $USER_ID -g $CONTAINER_GROUPNAME $CONTAINER_USERNAME '&&' \
    mkdir --parent $HOMEDIR '&&' \
    chown -R $CONTAINER_USERNAME:$CONTAINER_GROUPNAME $HOMEDIR
}

execute_as_cmd()
{
  echo \
    sudo -u $CONTAINER_USERNAME HOME=$HOMEDIR
}

full_container_cmd()
{
  echo "'$(create_user_cmd) && $(execute_as_cmd) $@'"
}

### MAIN

eval docker run \
    --rm=true \
    -a stdout \
    -v $(pwd):$HOMEDIR \
    -w $HOMEDIR \
    $DOCKER_IMAGE \
