Altering UID of dietpi possible?

General Discussion
1

In all my linux systems UID 1000 is assigned to another username. In DietPi the UID 1000 is assigned to username dietpi.
This is annoying especially when using sshfs or nfs

Is it save to remove user “dietpi” and replace it with another one?
Or are other things linked to the user dietpi

If removing “dietpi” is unsave…
Is it save to change to UID/GID of user & group “dietpi” to another id i.e. 1111?

usermod -u 1111 dietpi
groupmod -g 1111 dietpi
find / -group 1000 -exec chgrp -h dietpi {} \;
find / -user 1000 -exec chown -h dietpi {} \;

And create new users afterwards

useradd -m -s /bin/bash -u 1000 -U username0
passwd username0
useradd -m -s /bin/bash -u 1001 -U username1
passwd username1

Currently, the user and group dietpi are still used by some applications. Preferably by apps that exchange data with each other on the file system. However, it should be possible to change the group as you planned. It’s best to just give it a try.

We are aware of the problem and plan to replace the dietpi user with an individual user in the long term (no ETA). Nevertheless, there will be a standard group through which individual apps can exchange data with each other on the file system.

Looks like everything works after changing …
