fix: 600GB openedx-dev image on macOS
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On macOS, building the "openedx-dev" Docker image resulted in an image that required more than 600 GB of disk space. This was due to the `adduser` command which was called with a user ID of 2x10⁹ (on macOS only). This resulted in a very large /var/log/faillog file, hence the image size.

- [Improvement] No more large dev images. This was fixed by adding --no-log-init option to useradd command and reducing space usage of /var/log/faillog. (by @CodeWithEmad)
