> The {{bin/solr}} script uses {{whoami}} to determine if it is running as root.
> That code is [here
> |https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/solr/bin/solr#L1089]and
> was introduced with [this commit
> |https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/commit/7561461f738a447856bb93b0a847b0200fff4c9c]for
> SOLR-7826
> This can produce a warning if the effective uid is not present in
> {{/etc/passwd}}.
> For example:
> {{$ docker run -it -u 88888 bash bash -c 'whoami'}}
> {{ whoami: unknown uid 88888}}
> This is an unusual situation, but one I encountered and [worked
> around|https://github.com/docker-solr/docker-solr/commit/8a4e236e93d6fcda3e33937b332d1911c1e7b8f8#diff-1578307c887a49e90a57418e653ad7f6R49]
> The use of {{whoami}} can be avoided by using {{id -u}}, or better yet {{$UID
> }}/ {{$EUID}} which is built into bash and thus also avoids a subshell
> invocation. I'm not aware of any downside to this approach.
