[WARN] Group with 100 already exists: users

1

On Arch Linux my profile’s uid is 1000 and its initial login group gid is 100.

[bobbybabes@ladyluck 5.0.2 ~]# id
uid=1000(bobbybabes) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),10(wheel),11(ftp),33(http),93(optical),108(vboxusers),979(docker),994(libvirt)

In .env I changed the GID to what it is on the host : 100. It now looks like this :

###
### Set your user id and group id
###   
### This should be changed to the value of your local
### users uid and gid
###
### Type `id` on the terminal to find out your values
###
NEW_UID=1000
#--NEW_GID=1000
NEW_GID=100

But when I start a container I see this warning twice in the container startup messages :

[WARN] Group with 100 already exists: users

Should I be changing the group ID in .env ?

This is fine and not a problem at all. I should actually make this an INFO message.

What does it mean?

During the startup, the PHP container changes the Devilbox user and group id to the one’s you have specified in .env in order to fully match the filesystem permissions. If you have picked a user or group id (in your case group id 100) which already exists within the PHP container, the devilbox group would not be able to be changed to that group (because another group already uses that id).

Instead, if this is the case, the PHP container changes the other group (with group id 100) to another group id, so that afterwards the Devilbox group can use the group id 100.

So all good :slight_smile:

Thanks for explaining. I crossed another one of my list.
