Issue Adding User in Docker with Eclipse Temurin 17-jre Image

I am facing an issue when adding a user to a Docker container based on the Eclipse Temurin 17-jre image. The command I am using in my Dockerfile is:

RUN adduser --disabled-login -u 1000 spring-boot

However, when I build the image, I get the following error:

Could not build image: The command ‘/bin/sh -c adduser –disabled-login -u 1000 spring-boot’ returned a non-zero code: 127

This command has been working for a long time, but the issue started this morning. I noticed that the latest tag for the 17-jre image was pushed two hours ago, which might be related to this issue.

Is there a different command or package that I need to install before adding a user to this base image? Any help would be appreciated!

    adduser command is not present by default in eclipse-temurin:17-jre but useradd is.

    Based on your specifications you can create the spring-boot user like so useradd --uid 1000 --no-create-home --shell /usr/sbin/nologin spring-boot. But beware of the user id 1000 since it is not unique and linked to the ubuntu user.

    We’re facing the same issue in eclipse-temurin:21-jdk

    It worked just fine since this morning. The command we were using is:

    useradd <our user> --uid 1000 --disabled-password --no-create-home --gecos ''

    I just installed adduser via apt-get and have a running right now. It is somewhat of a temporary workaround, does anyone have a clue what happened to the base image? Is this a hickup, or was there a plan to remove adduser command from the image?

    User ID 1000 is used by the user ubuntu

    docker run eclipse-temurin:17-jre cat /etc/passwd

    Will show you that fact.

    The way I used it before (adapting to your use csae) was to do

    RUN echo spring-boot:x:1001:1001:Spring Boot:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin >> /etc/passwd
