I have a file called .platform/hooks/predeploy/01.download.py. When I sudo into the instance, it looks like the user is ec2-user, so the ~/ folder points to /home/ec2-user. But when my app runs, it seems that ~/ points to /home/webapp. How can I get my predeploy script to know the location of /home/webapp?

runuser -l ec2-user -c '<command>'
or any variation of it or other similar tool as shown, for instance, here,
