This check always needs to check for $configuredUser if set. Also accepting $configUser can lead to the very issue this is trying to prevent.

something like

$phpUser = $config->getSystemValueString('php.user', '');
if (!$phpUser) {
    $userNameArray = posix_getpwuid($user);
	if ($userNameArray !== false) {
		$phpUser = $userNameArray['name'];
	}
}
if ($user != $phpUser) {

maybe

echo "Console has to be executed with the user that owns the file config/config.php" . PHP_EOL;
echo "Current user id: " . $user . PHP_EOL;
echo "Owner id of config.php: " . $configUser . PHP_EOL;
echo "Try adding 'sudo -u #" . $configUser . "' to the beginning of the command (without the single quotes)" . PHP_EOL;
echo "If running with 'docker exec' try adding the option '-u " . $configUser . "' to the docker command (without the single quotes)" . PHP_EOL;
echo "Another option is to configure 'php.user' in config.php which will overwrite this check.";

I think as worded this is misleading, the option doesn't overwrite the check, it changes that the expected value of the check is.

I would go with something like

If the config file is not owned by the user running the webserver you can set the correct user by setting the 'php.user' option in your config.php

exit(1);

Looks like this is not true? How can I fix this?

Are you sure? Documentation says it should return false on failure: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.posix-getpwuid.php
