Error: user: Current requires cgo or $HOME set in environment
I'm not sure whether this is the correct place to report this. Just calling doctl gives this error.

I could not find anything on this. I'd be really grateful for any pointers.
Hi @rdd2 , I'm trying to reproduce it. I'll let you know what I find. Thanks for your report!
Thanks for your efforts.
I'll gladly diagnose on my end, just don't have much insight into the way snaps work. Can't see anything in syslog and also can't get doctl to throw more with -vvv etc.
I've tried remove --purge the snap and reinstalling it, but no luck.
Here's an easy repro:
❯ docker run -u 1001 digitalocean/doctl

Error: user: Current requires cgo or $USER set in environment
The $USER isn't set within the env. Doctl has no c code so I think we can rule out this being a cgo issue. I used the following line to assign the user at runtime:
docker run -e USER=sguyah digitalocean/doctl
Does this help?
If there is any additional way we can help, please reopen this ticket and we'll get to it more promptly than we did this time.
