<p>Currently GetComponents assumes that the <code>$USER</code> environment variable is set. This is not true inside of docker containers and requires some workarounds in the Dockerfile to handle correctly.</p>
<p>Pull request <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/pull/11/files" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/gridaphobe/CRL/pull/11/files</a> instead uses Perl’s <code>getpwuid</code> to get the user name from the OS which does not rely on USER. I tested getpwuid to work fine in a Ubuntu container.</p>
