Hi, I am trying the latest OpenVox Container on AWS ECS (after having lived way too long on our fork 😞 ) and at startup i am getting this and i cannot figure out what is wrong.

Copy code

2026-10-30T07:20:53.602000+00:00 Starting Puppetserver
2026-10-30T07:20:53.681000+00:00 runuser: user  does not exist or the user entry does not contain all the required fields

I get this even if i stop including any of our own customisations. Thank you!

I just noticed the double space here

user  does

... there must be a missing param/(env) variable to designate the user... 🤔

running on podman or docker? latest openvox container? v8 or v9?

Zipkid

AWS ECS, so Docker...

Copy code

root@ip-172-22-38-68:/# puppet --version
8.31.0
root@ip-172-22-38-68:/# puppetserver --version
puppetserver version: 8.17.0

OpenVoxProject/container-openvoxserver

repo

ook... using the bare config from the repo does not show this issue... I will figure out what i'm doing wrong.

i made an issue -> github.com/OpenVoxProject/openvox-server/issues/728 chown might be in order?

Well, i discovered this. We rebuild the container with our customization, install some tools via apt. To do that i had to add the following in the Dockerfile

Copy code

USER root

But that causes the error below at runtime

Copy code

runuser: user  does not exist or the user entry does not contain all the required fields

Adding the following at the end of our Dockerfile fixes it.

Copy code

USER puppet:0

@rismoney That should probably be opened on this repository instead: github.com/OpenVoxProject/container-openvoxserver

Your issue looks like some of the fallout from UID change shipped in the 8.14.1 image

We have a migration note on this but this is making me question if it's up to date: github.com/OpenVoxProject/container-openvoxserver/blob/…/MIGRATION.md
