Motivation for this change

i disabled sudo in my server due to its recent vulnerability. After doing this, the miniflux service failed to start.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

The miniflux service should work when sudo is not available in the
system.

Thank you! With this pull request we are now using systemd's UID changing capabilities. Even without the sudo vulnerability, this appears much cleaner to me.

After this is merged and I rebase would either of you mind reviewing #108906?

@talyz requesting you because you have written a similar service in the past for gitlab IIRC.
