Also running into the same issue using Docker on AlmaLinux 9.x with privileged mode enabled.

Same issue with docker-compose on ubuntu 20 server.

Looks like this is an issue with how you guys have your user mapping variables set. Can you guys post what you guys have in either unraid or in your docker compose

[louiseuk]

Thanks, luigi.
I'm running off an UNRAID template - Container Variable: USER_MAPPING
louise.uk:louise (first is plex username, second is jellyfin username, but it doesn't matter which order, I get the same error)

[luigi311]

Can you try
{"louise.uk":"louise"}

[louiseuk]

No luck, similar (but slightly different) error...

unfortunately this isnt something i can replicate when i put in what i told you. If i put it in without the curly braces i get the same error but it works perfectly fine when i copy and paste in
{"louise.uk":"louise"}

Does it run without any errors if you try with the user mapping being empty?

[andrewm659]

I am using portainer and can't get the docker-compose. I didn't make it a stack.

I was receiving the same error in Unraid that started this issue and successful fixed my issue utilizing {"user1":"user11"}
