Linux user and group ids - agilecollective/parrot GitHub Wiki

On Ubuntu hosts, we have sometimes run into errors with conflicting user and group ids.

What we have found works, is adding the following to the config.yml file:

local_user_uid: 1002
local_user_gid: 1001

Essentially a fresh Ubuntu box has the ubuntu user as 1001 and group 1001. Trying to set the vagrant user to uid 1001 causes an error on up / provision. We also saw errors when tring to set both user and group to 1001, so through experimentation, setting as above seems to work on.

This was tested on Host: 16.04, Guest: 14.04.
