I was trying to setup a laravel/sail with docker on the fresh ubuntu install.
After following this manual: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/installation#getting-started-on-linux
I’m getting an Invalid group ID sail error on sail up (alias has been created so I don’t need to use ./vendor/bin/sail up anymore).
groupadd: invalid group ID 'sail' ERROR: Service 'laravel.test' failed to build : The command '/bin/sh -c groupadd --force -g $WWWGROUP sail' returned a non-zero code: 3

Method 1
You can add this to .env file
WWWGROUP=1000 WWWUSER=1000
Both values should be 1000, but you can also get them from bash
id -g <username> id -u <username>
Method 2
You can solve this by just run this, before making docker-compose up:
export APP_SERVICE=${APP_SERVICE:-"laravel.test"}
export DB_PORT=${DB_PORT:-3306}
export WWWUSER=${WWWUSER:-$UID}
export WWWGROUP=${WWWGROUP:-$(id -g)}This is something that sail do every time you run a command with it, but when you run docker-compose directly you need to do it before.
You can see this here: https://github.com/laravel/sail/blob/1.x/bin/sail#L21
Method 3
This happens if you run docker-compose up, if you run sail up it will work as intended.
You might need to configure the alias first:
alias sail='bash vendor/bin/sail'
Method 4
The problem was with the composer itself. After re-installation and clearing docker images it started to build it up!
