Raven on Openshift fails with KeyError: 'getpwuid(): uid not found: 1000580000'

[rypalmer]

I'm trying to use raven==6.6.0 on a Django site hosted in Openshift.

There seems to be a known issue of the "unknown user" when running on a Docker container.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Or know of a workaround?
