Terminal does not open about docker-code-server HOT 8 CLOSED

This happens because you are using a user that has no shell in the container, www-data. We recommend using a user account rather than one of the common IDs and names.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I see, instead of using 33 as user and group id, using www-data should be fine, right?

In my scenario I want to use code-server to allow editing files hosted by an apache webserver. Therefore I want to ensure that created / edited files are always owned by www-data.

Update: I tried using www-data but then my user is abc. What am I missing? Thanks for your help :)

You need to use a normal user account.

In other words: Using www-data as user / group is not an option because it is a system account, right? (I am not that confident with linux user management)

Yes

Alright, thanks for your feedback!
