Describe the bug

When starting the archivebox container, based on the dockerfile of django branch, I get the following error in logs and it exits

archive_archivebox   | mkdir: cannot create directory ���/home/archivebox���: Permission denied
archive_archivebox   | touch: cannot touch '/home/archivebox/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list': No such file or directory
archive_archivebox   | [X] No archivebox index found in the current directory.
archive_archivebox   |     /data
archive_archivebox   |
archive_archivebox   |     Hint: Are you running archivebox in the right folder?
archive_archivebox   |         cd path/to/your/archive/folder
archive_archivebox   |         archivebox [command]
archive_archivebox   |
archive_archivebox   |     Hint: To create a new archive collection or import existing data in this folder, run:
archive_archivebox   |         archivebox init
archive_archivebox exited with code 2

I think the above error comes from the following line in dockerfile and because the user archivebox doesn't have the right permissions

RUN archivebox version

Steps to reproduce

Build archive box image and run the container

Software versions

OS: macOS 10.14
ArchiveBox version: 1866da3

I fixed the above issue by adding --create-home at the useradd command, but I would like your opinion on that.

RUN groupadd --system archivebox \
    && useradd --create-home --system --gid archivebox --groups audio,video archivebox
