Returns me that the user foo cannot be added:
mkdir: can't create directory '/var/run/samba': File exists
>> CONTAINER: starting initialisation
cp: can't stat '/container/config/avahi/samba.service': No such file or directory

adduser: uid '1001' in use
which will lead to follow up errors.
I execed into the container and indeed cannot create the user, but /etc/passwd does not show up the user. On other systems it appears to be no problem to add a user and a group with the same name and ids.
Any idea?
Hi,
I have the same problem with uid 1000
interessting and strange problem - I'll have a look!
Problem found, please remove
GROUP_foo=1001
GROUPS_foo=foo
the default group for a user is automatically created when the user is created - they automatically share the same id.
that's why the error is complaining that the id is already in place.
the GROUP_<name>=<gid> is meant for groups which are not automatically created and you create for grouping different users together - like a family group for GROUP_family=4000 or a certain department GROUP_hr=4001 and later on make your users members of the group using GROUPS_family=alice,bob
updated readme to be more specific on this topic
Perfect, it works for me
Thanks.
