Commit c8eeb60 (ctrliq#559) added user=root to the [supervisord] section of tools/docker-compose/supervisor.conf, but the docker-compose development container runs as the invoking user (uid 1000), not root. supervisord refuses to start with "Error: Can't drop privilege as nonroot user", so the awx container exits right after bootstrap and make docker-compose is broken on main. Removing the line restores the previous behavior: supervisord runs as whatever user launched it, which is what the development container expects.

Summary
Commit c8eeb60 (#559, by @cigamit) added
user=rootto the[supervisord]section oftools/docker-compose/supervisor.conf. The docker-compose development container runs as the invoking user (user: "1000"in the generated compose file), not root, so supervisord refuses to start:The awx container exits right after bootstrap and
make docker-composeis broken on current main.Fix
Remove the
user=rootline. supervisord then runs as whatever user launched it, which is what the development container expects and matches the behavior before #559.Verification
With this line removed,
docker compose upon the generated sources brings the environment up cleanly: supervisord starts all services,/api/v2/ping/returns 200 and the UI is reachable on port 8043.
