Unable to create custom image from the exeuntu base

GitHub issue #50 Feature Proposed ehazlettvia github Dec 29, 2025 View original

When trying something like

FROM ghcr.io/boldsoftware/exeuntu:latest
USER root
RUN touch /etc/.custom-image
USER exedev
CMD ["/usr/local/bin/init"]

It fails to login and be usable.

Isn't this expected? init must be run as root

 exedev@arthur ~   > id
uid=1000(exedev) gid=1000(exedev) 
 exedev@arthur ~   > /usr/local/bin/init         
Docker users can use Ctrl-P Ctrl-Q to detach.
Must be run as pid 1 for systemd to start.
