Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current behavior
The Docker Compose install script blindly assumes uid 1001 without checking if that user already exists. For example, on my machine I have a user bob with uid 1001. After running the install script, bob is the owner of /bin/prime-cli, even if bob is not related to Plane.
Steps to reproduce
- Run the Docker Compose install script
curl -fsSL https://prime.plane.so/install/ | sh - - See that
/bin/prime-cliis blindly installed with UID 1001, even if that UID is used by a user unrelated to Plane.
Environment
Production
Browser
None
Variant
Self-hosted
