Cannot create new Rust project with Docker: “could not determine the current user”
Following the Docker documentation for Rust, I can't create a new project using cargo new without getting could not determine the current user, please set $USER. Here's the command I'm using:
cargo new
could not determine the current user, please set $USER
docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD":/app -w /app rust:1.27.0-slim-stretch cargo new project --bin

Forwarding the $USER environment variable from my machine seems to do the trick:
$USER
docker run -it --rm -e USER=$USER -v "$PWD":/app -w /app rust:1.27.0-slim-stretch cargo new project --bin
