Faced the below issue:
Step 8/59 : RUN (getent passwd "$ARG_UID" && userdel -f "$(getent passwd "$ARG_UID" | cut -d: -f1)") || true && (getent group "$ARG_GID" && groupdel "$(getent group "$ARG_GID" | cut -d: -f1)") || true && groupadd -g "$ARG_GID" anythingllm && useradd -l -u "$ARG_UID" -m -d /app -s /bin/bash -g anythingllm anythingllm && mkdir -p /app/frontend/ /app/server/ /app/collector/ && chown -R anythingllm:anythingllm /app ---> Running in acec541f0888 groupadd: invalid group ID '' [+] up 0/1 ⠙ Image anythingllm-anything-llm Building

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Apr 14, 2026):

This error occurs because the UID and GID environment variables are empty when the Docker build runs.

After copying .env.example to .env, make sure the UID and GID values are set. You can either use the defaults:

UID=1000
GID=1000

Or set them to match your actual user/group IDs:

UID=$(id -u)
GID=$(id -g)

Check your docker/.env file to confirm these variables aren't commented out or missing.

Thanks! during the compile procedure, I figured that not having buildx installed was the issue, buildx is not installed by default on arch aur installs, it might be helpful to keep a notice within the documentation.
