ignoring /etc/crontabs/validate (non-existent user)

[mbdsv]

It seems that /validate.sh will not be called via cron.

I see in the docker logs:

ignoring /etc/crontabs/validate (non-existent user)

This user does not exist:

# id validate
id: unknown user validate

Possible solution 1: create the validate user in the Dockerfile

ENV uservalidate=validate

RUN ...
    addgroup -S "$uservalidate" && \
    adduser -S "$uservalidate" -G "$uservalidate" && \

Possible solution 2: run the validate.sh as the mirror user

add it to the mirror crontab in /etc/crontabs/mirror
remove /etc/crontabs/validate

my docker compose.yaml

option 2 is the better choice.
