docker user after upgrade to version 3.6.0 not working

[kimpenhaus]

hi all,

i am running code-server inside a docker on a synology nas. the container was running flawless - but after upgrading to v3.6.0 it stopped booting properly. I think this is depending on the change mentioned in the release notes:

• The docker image's $DOCKER_USER env variable works correctly now docker: Fix $DOCKER_USER #2057

I've updated my docker create command accordingly (at least accordingly what I understood from the install.md)

sudo docker create --name=code-server  \
-v "/volume1/docker/code-server/.config:/home/coder/.config" \
-v "/volume1/docker/code-server/project:/home/coder/project" \
-u "1031:100" -e DOCKER_USER=apps \
-l traefik.enable=true -l traefik.http.routers.vscode.middlewares='https_redirect@file' \
-l traefik.http.routers.vscode.rule='Host(`vscode.xxxx.net`)' \
-l traefik.http.routers.vscode.entrypoints='web, web-secure' \
--memory=2048m --restart=unless-stopped -l com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true \
codercom/code-server:latest

user-uid, user-god and user-name are correct:

docker runs as su on the synology but the docker should be mapped to a restricted apps user - which was working before the upgrade. only change I did was adding -e DOCKER_USER=apps. that's why it is hardcoded to 1031:100 and not to $(id -u):$(id -g)

maybe I misunderstood what to change after the upgrade. but with the given setup the logs are showing:

whoami: cannot find name for user ID 1031

any help is appreciated - thanks!

Ah yeah looks like `whoami` errors for any ID that isn't already in the Docker container. I'm not sure what the proper fix will be yet (maybe we can explicitly export `USER` as `coder` in the Dockerfile and avoid `whoami`) but one workaround could be to override the entrypoint and skip all the user renaming code. For example: ``` docker run -u 1031:100 \ --entrypoint /bin/bash \ codercom/code-server \ -c 'dumb-init fixuid -q /usr/bin/code-server' ```
