Can't get Docker installation to work

[bnapora]

Looks like a promising project. Was attempting to review mercure. Started with Docker installation instructions. Using mercure Installer - Version 0.3.1-alpha.1. When attempting to use sudo ./install.sh docker get an error logname: no login name. Then next line: Error on or near line 37. I commented out section around line 37 of the install script, but just caused additional errors.

I attempted this on Ubuntu 20 and Ubuntu 22 machines. If can provide some other troubleshooting approach, or guidance on how to install with Docker that would be helpful in our evaluation.

Right now the docker installer uses logname to get the login username and then sets the ownership of the installed files. logname apparently doesn't work if you are logging in without a login shell. This seems to be an issue with WSL

You might try just commenting out only line 37. Everything will then be owned by root, which shouldn't actually cause any harm and might be what we should do by default anyway...
