Openedx is not the name of a known user

Tutor

What may cause this problem? I try to run a development version but this error occured.

The cms service will be available at http://localhost:8001
docker-compose -f /root/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.yml -f /root/.local/share/tutor/env/dev/docker-compose.yml --project-name tutor_dev run --rm -e SETTINGS=tutor.development -p 8001:8001 cms ./manage.py cms runserver 0.0.0.0:8001

Can you confirm that you built the dev image with USERID=0? I suspect this bug happens only in those cases.

Thanks, regis, I am root user. What can I do if I want to totally reinstall tutor? Is that enough for removing all files in $(tutor config printroot) and run tutor local quickstart?

That’s right, this bug will also occur when running Tutor as root. I suppose it’s useless to tell you not to run tutor as root?

Just delete or move the files in $(sudo tutor config printroot).

Sorry, I was reading those posts several hours earlier but totally forgot I was running tutor as root.
