Common User List

See How Managing user in docker container.

For all defined user, we will start id from 4200. In the range 1000-29999 dedicated for dynamically allocated user accounts. All of them are ever define in our docker base image.

airdock/rvm	ruby:ruby	4208	4208

Our user have their home directory located under "/srv" in order to take advantage of:

• most of them are created to share some data
• this will be consitent between host and guest
• they act as an application account (not an human account)

For backward compatibility, we have also a symbolink link from /var/lib/XXX to /srv/XXX.

create Guest user and group

You can, in your dockerfile use script

/root/create-user username uid  groupname gid

to create username and groupname with specified id.

Create Host user and group

You can do:

  sudo groupadd my-docker-group -g 4201
  sudo useradd -u 4201  --home-dir /srv/my-docker-user--create-home --system --no-user-group my-docker-user
  sudo usermod -g my-docker-group my-docker-user

or call this script which create all user:

  create-all-user

For a convenient way to work with this new user, don't forget to add your user to this group

  sudo usermod -g my-docker-group my-user
