Using a template without an explicit `user` breaks the workspace container

When starting the example docker-code-server as-is, I get this chdir - no such file or directory error:

I made an issue for it on Github https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/3870 There we found out the HOME environment somehow gets set to the username of user 1000 of the host server: (It's set to /home/skerit when it should be /home/coder) 
[skerit@test1 coder]$ env
HOSTNAME=test1
PWD=/home/coder
HOME=/home/skerit
ENTRYPOINTD=/entrypoint.d
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
CODER_AGENT_TOKEN=xxx
TERM=xterm
USER=coder
SHLVL=1
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
_=/usr/sbin/env
[skerit@test1 coder]$ env
HOSTNAME=test1
PWD=/home/coder
HOME=/home/skerit
ENTRYPOINTD=/entrypoint.d
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
CODER_AGENT_TOKEN=xxx
TERM=xterm
USER=coder
SHLVL=1
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
_=/usr/sbin/env
The workaround for this was to add this to the workspace resource: 
resource "docker_container" "workspace" {
  ...
  user = "coder:coder"
}
resource "docker_container" "workspace" {
  ...
  user = "coder:coder"
}
This is on an Arch server, btw 😄

Thanks for starting the thread. Could you check if there are any settings in /etc/docker/daemon.json on the Arch machine?

Just my custom dns settings: 
{
    "dns": ["192.168.50.2", "8.8.8.8"]
}
{
    "dns": ["192.168.50.2", "8.8.8.8"]
}

Ok, that def. wouldn't mess with anything. I wanted to test if I could reproduce this on Arch, but no go. Worked perfectly when I installed docker and postgresql (pacman -S docker postgresql), initialized the db, started coder server (as root), uploaded the docker-code-server template and created a workspace. The workspace startup had no errors and had HOME=/home/coder. I had also prepared the arch host machine with a user named maf and UID 1000 beforehand. Does your setup diverge from what I described in any way?

Docker version info (in Arch Linux) for reference

Could you share the output of docker info btw? I honestly have no idea where to start with this so just throwing darts in the dark.

My coder's postgres server is also a docker container btw, but can't imagine that would be the cause of all of this 🙂 Also on my server, coder is running as coder, not root.

Thanks. Both of those differences should be OK, can't imagine them affecting the issue at hand.
