[Issue] Could not get user home directory: user: lookup userid 0: no such file or directory

[thekalinga]

Describe the bug

I ran a container with subfinder to debug my kubernetes environment.

I started a lightweight container containing the following image nixery.dev/shell/subfinder/dnsx.

I used this command to start this disposable container in kubernetes

kubectl run -it --rm --restart=Never \
        --image=nixery.dev/shell/subfinder/dnsx \
        -- \
        bash

When I run subfinder within the container, I get the following error

[FTL] Could not get user home directory: user: lookup userid 0: no such file or directory

I dont get same error when I run dnsx in the same environment.

Subfinder version

2.5.5

Complete command you used to reproduce this

uname -a within the container yields Linux bash 5.15.0-58-generic #64~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 6 16:42:31 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm using kind (kuberntes in docker) as kubernetes environment. kind version (kind --version) is 0.17.0

I ran the same container on native docker directly. I am getting the same error here aswell.

docker run  -it --rm \                
        nixery.dev/shell/subfinder/dnsx \
        bash

Running subfinder is yielding the same error.

[FTL] Could not get user home directory: user: lookup userid 0: no such file or directory

Details of docker & the host OS details that docker is running on is listed in previous comment.

@thekalinga , from your issue description I think the problem is that go is not able to detect user home dir Can you verify If you are facing issue with latest release https://github.com/projectdiscovery/subfinder/releases/tag/v2.5.6 ?

[thekalinga]

The package is not yet updated in the nix repository. So I am still waiting for that to happen.
