Hello  
For any reason I can’t log to an account in jupyterhub.  
When I try I got this error

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/jupyter/original/2X/1/167c053d03edd3dcb69c6a8e9bc666af85128ed0.png)  
the logs for jupyterhub are  
(in comments)

the logs of the new container which didn’t successfully spawned are:

```
ubuntu@ip-xxx-xx-x9-1x8:/home/infradata/infradata$ sudo docker logs infradata_jupyter_cyprien
Set username to: jovyan
usermod: no changes
Set jovyan UID to: 0
usermod: UID '0' already exists

```

I think the reason is the uid which should be 1000+ instead of 0 but I have no idea how to fix it. 😕

I take any idea  
Thanks in advance 🙂
