We appear to be having problems deploying maven packages because when we create the docker image to do so, its notion of where the home directory is seems to be wrong. I believe this is occurring because we are mounting /etc/passwd and /etc/group inside the guest to those files on the host. The reason this causes problems is that /etc/passwd contains the definition of where each user's home directory is, and due to the nature of ephemeral runners, we are configuring the host to have a dynamic home directory so that each instance of the runner doesn't conflict with one another.
I am pretty sure this type of mounting is not actually necessary since we already set the uid and gid of the docker user to be equal to the uid and gid of the same user and group on the host. However, we need to test to make sure nothing breaks before merging this.
