Run docker-compose build from within gsflow-grass-docker folder and get the following error. Running Ubuntu 18.04.1. Could be a problem with my environment.

Ups!
I think my username slipped in there.
Try the following:

• Change at file Dockerfile, insert your USER name at:

  - Line 5, RUN useradd -m -s /bin/bash USER
  
  - Line 20, ADD install_kit /home/USER/install_kit
  
  - Line 21, RUN chmod +x /home/USER/install_kit
  
  - Line 24, USER **USER**
  
  - Line 25, WORKDIR /home/USER
  

• Change at file install_kit, insert your USER name at::

  - Line 6,  echo "" | grass74 -c EPSG:2100 /home/USER/grassdata
  

• Rebuild

I made the changes and got the same error. Looks like I need root to run. I tried just installing tzdata and it worked with root.

Glad you two figured this out! I'll leave open as a reminder to update the docs once I do the big overhaul.

@kpretz glad you figured it out!
I think is a good idea to be root so that you can install all dependent packages smoothly.

FYI, I got past this same error by changing the ubuntu release in the Dockerfile from 18.10 to 18.04. See https://superuser.com/a/1527268/643284. This is due to 18.04 having long-term service status.
