Problem: Ubuntu 24.04 base image already has user/group with UID/GID 1000
Error: groupadd: GID '1000' already exists
Impact: Container build failed at user creation step
Solution Applied:
# Create user with matching host UID/GID (with conflict handling)
RUN set -eux && \
# Remove existing user/group with same UID/GID if they exist
if getent passwd "$USER_UID" >/dev/null; then \
userdel --force --remove $(getent passwd "$USER_UID" | cut -d: -f1); \
fi && \
if getent group "$USER_GID" >/dev/null; then \
groupdel $(getent group "$USER_GID" | cut -d: -f1); \
fi && \
# Create new group and user
groupadd --gid $USER_GID $USERNAME \
&& useradd --uid $USER_UID --gid $USER_GID -m -s /bin/zsh $USERNAME \
&& echo $USERNAME ALL=\(ALL\) NOPASSWD:ALL > /etc/sudoers.d/$USERNAME \
&& chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/$USERNAMEStatus: ✅ FIXED - Template Dockerfile updated with robust user creation
Problem: Existing ADB container was using port 5037
Error: Bind for 0.0.0.0:5037 failed: port is already allocated
Impact: Could not start shared ADB server
Solution Applied:
- Stopped conflicting container:
docker stop adb_service - Script correctly detected and handled the conflict
- Infrastructure restarted successfully
