scaleway defaults to creating a debian user on their Debian images.

These ansible scripts also want to create a fosdem user, on the same uid of 1000. This creates an error situation:

We should do one of the following:

  • Remove the "debian" user with uid 1000 if it exists
  • Don't hardcode the uid, allow ansible to create one (though this might result in problems with NFS or similar protocols that want to encode UIDs on the network)
  • Switch the UID to something else; 1000 is very likely to already be in use by something else.

Yes, it makes sense to start all our stuff at 10000 or something.

I can live with that, but I would also delete the default debian user account with the scaleway role. There's no reason for it to exist...

+1 to both 10,000 UID range and removing the debian user.

I was also thinking about moving us away from direct root login and default to fosdem user + sudo. I can open a separate issue to discuss that.
