sdm makes it super-simple to allocate users with specific UIDs, along with pretty much anything else you'd want to configure in RasPiOS. And, I'd guess that in your homelab you might have a LOT to configure.My systems are now integrated with a homelab ldap where my users start with uid 1000. This conflicts with the uid that the default user that is created on the Pi OS, typically the user "pi". I have tried using the userconf.txt method before to create the initial user but that only takes in the username and password. The Pi OS Imager also does not provide a way to customize the user's UID.
What is the best way to initialize the OS before the installation with a user with a specific UID? Is the only available option to mount the image and modify the passwd/group file?
Looking for to your suggestions.
