Description
First off... Thank you for building the Dockerfile for mosquitto!
The debian package mosquitto creates the user mosquitto.
During docker-mosquitto build the following line is printed (at least for me):
The system user `mosquitto' already exists. Exiting.
---> 76775d4bf147
I comment out the adduser line in the Dockerfile and built a container and tested:
brucelowther@DeepThought:~/src/Docker/docker-mosquitto$ docker run -ti -u mosquitto mosquitto:woadduser id
uid=104(mosquitto) gid=107(mosquitto) groups=107(mosquitto)
Indicates that the user is created even though the adduser line is commented out.
Confirmed this by looking at the debian package build:
mosquitto.postinst
From the postinst step, it will use the existing mosquitto uid rather than creating a uid.
Recommend flipping the two steps in the Dockerfile.
- Create the mosquitto user
- Install mosquitto package.
The reason this is important to me is that I want to match up the UID on the docker server (121) with the UID created in the container.
May be short sighted, but it works for me right now.
adduser --uid 121 --system --disabled-password --disabled-login mosquitto && \
apt-get update && apt-get install -y mosquitto mosquitto-clients
Then I get UID that matches the target system.
brucelowther@DeepThought:~/src/Docker/docker-mosquitto$ docker run -ti -u mosquitto mosquitto:flipadduser id
uid=121(mosquitto) gid=65534(nogroup) groups=65534(nogroup)
I'm a novice.. hope this is clearly described.
