UID & GID assignments problem

[Sorcerer Stone]

Hello All,
My Linux development environment is Vagrant + VirtualBox on top of a Win10 host.

In the Github app I am trying to build, it requires to create groups and users with group & user IDs.

Because of the underlying layers/modules this app uses, one of the groupID deployed is 999.

When I ran the "groupadd" command inside the guest Ubuntu on my above development platform, it returned an error saying 999 is already occupied by another app on my platform. This other app so happened to be “vboxsf” aka VirtualBox.

I can’t change the groupID of the app I am trying to build as it is too complicated and I don’t know it well. And I think gid=999 is likely associated with Postgres module this app is using.

The easiest way to solve is to change the “vboxsf” uid & gid to something else using command like:

sudo mount -t vboxsf folder share -o uid=1000,gid=1000

My question is, this may sound ok but it should not work.
My thinking is the guest Ubuntu is running on Vagrant + VirtualBox. I cannot possibility change the default VirtualBox uid, gid within the guest Ubuntu. Doing this, will destroy my Vagrant + VirtualBox environment.
Am I correct?
Can anyone suggest a possible way to solve this conflicting uid+gid assignment problem for my Vagrant + VirtualBox setup?
Thanks in advance.

hello there

i think, it will be better if you build your own box ready to use.

will be more simple and quicker for developers to do vagrant up
