What can be done to avoid docker images that cannot be extracted due to an insufficient UID range?

edit

There are several measures that can be taken to avoid docker images that cannot be extracted due to an insufficient UID range, including:

1. Specify a larger UID range: When creating a Dockerfile, it's important to specify a sufficiently large UID range for user accounts. The default range may not be enough for larger applications, so it's best to check and define a larger range as required.

2. Use an image with a sufficiently large UID range: When downloading images, it's best to choose an image that has a sufficiently large UID range for user accounts. This can be checked in the image documentation or by contacting the developers of the image.

3. Use a different Linux distribution: Some Linux distributions have a smaller default UID range than others. If you are experiencing issues with UID range, try using a different distribution that has a larger UID range by default.

4. Run Docker as a non-root user: Docker should always be run as a non-root user to minimize security risks. However, this also means that the UID range must be large enough for the non-root user account that is used to run Docker.

5. Use a container orchestration system: Container orchestration systems such as Kubernetes have features that allow you to specify UID ranges for containers. This can help ensure that images are extracted correctly and that container users have sufficient permissions.
